Ouroboros Spine my father bleeds history

Instead of his long-lost "brother" and his newfound friend coming together like one, giant, super happy family, they seemed to despise one another. Or, at the very least, they weren't happy with one another. Viggo's brief show of joy was quickly overshadowed by the hard stares shared between Mordecai and Ptarmigan. His smile soon slipped into a frown, and he glanced back and forth between the two of them waiting for some kind of explanation. Mordecai didn't utter a word, and Ptarmigan only offered her name.

“Have you two met, or…?” Not once did Viggo think that perhaps Mordecai had been close with the former Alpha. Nor did he consider the possibility that Mordecai had been vying for the spot himself. Instead, he merely felt at a loss, confused, and a little bit hurt. This was not what he had wanted.
