Kaname didn't say anything else. And though she would've liked for him to place the cherry on her precious attempt-of a speech, she was completely confident he had her back. What happened afterwards wasn't as pleasant. Like a broken record screeching over and over, an interrupting howl fell upon the meeting and echoed in her mind.
Cold shivers travelled through her medula before she realized what that howl really meant. As the new queen it was her job to attend to the call, though she was unsure of the procedure to dismiss the pack; Lecter took great care to send them off and sate any worry they might've had.
The pale yearling didn't bother to look into the faces of her subordinates. She was naive to assume all of the wolves would stick by --though really the loss of Meldresi and the others whose eyes shined with doubt wouldn't break her down. As long as she had Lecter and Kaname's trust she was content.
But now was no time to celebrate. As much as she would've loved to rejoice with her new Beta, she knew she had to resolve the very first crisis that was thrown her way. She felt ready.
