Noctisardor Bypass i've build a wall behind every step i've taken

potential pack formation thread :)

Laurel had moved to Noctarsidor Bypass soon after she and Xan had turned up at the borders of Rivenwood. It seemed that they'd arrived when things were just being wrapped up at their old home. Ironic that she had passed the Bypass and decided that was not for her because she knew it was Terance's old lot that lived there. How good it felt to have revenge for the sins they had committed against her and her brood in years past to see them driven out to make place for her; and hopefully, her future children.

Deciding that she would try and make a good impression off the get-go, Laurel was out that day marking the borders of the Bypass so that the pack's new claim could be confirmed well enough. She didn't feel good, but it was easy enough to pretend to feel good now that she was in a totally new pack. She no longer had the comfort of showing how miserable she truly was.

Only I know the truth now, love. Well, and Alexander. It was weird that he'd call Xan that. Laurel never had. There was something haunting about the fact that he did. He knows nothing, Laurel thought to herself, gloomily. That's what you think. Haven't you seen the way he acts around you? Oh, dearest, you are so blind. Laurel scoffed to herself at that and decided to ignore Iliksis' voice for now while she rubbed her scent — and a few loose hairs — on a low piece of shrubbery.
