Swiftcurrent Creek welcome to the new age · pack meeting

Sorry for the wait! I've barely seen my computer the past two days. <3 Next round ends on the 12th.

It would seem Cadfael had not only grated on his nerves, but the blatant disrespect had been witnessed by the entire pack -- all of whom bristled just as much as he did. His shoulder gently brushed Kaskara's as he felt her own indignation, and his eyes coolly regarded the ebony male as he explained himself. He was grumpy -- and so the pack was supposed to bear the brunt of it. But an apology was swift, and his own muzzle gave a light nod in the direction of the male. Kieran was also swift to his defense of the Beta, and the agouti male gave him a grateful glance.

There was either murmured agreeance to remaining loyal to him and the Creek -- it had been an opportunity for any opposed to his leadership prior to step up, but even those who remained silent were giving their consent. Relief washed over him, but he would not falter in this moment, instead, his eyes tipped back to the few that had questions -- particularly Galileo, Star and Cadfael.

"Her decision might seem rash, but she had asked me once before to take place as Alpha. I refused -- I had told her I was not looking to usurp her rank, and one mistake did not mean she should relinquish her title." He, of course, was noting the previous Danica and Shadow incident, believing she had already discussed what she had done with most of the wolves before him. "This time, she left me little choice. Her decision was made and then she left to visit Tuwawi.. She wants to prepare to be a mother. She's never wanted anything more than her own pups." There was a small sigh, his shoulders lifting in a gentle shrug. "I know that is not the answer you wanted, Galileo and Star, but it's all I have." With a small cant of his muzzle, he shifted his attention to the swarthy dragon, debating his question. "Bazi has spoken that she will return -- she is still a member of the Creek. If she wanted to take her place as Alpha again.. What would you all have me say?" In a month, a lot could change.. perhaps they would absolutely loathe his reign as Alpha and want the ivory queen back once more. Selfishly, he wanted nothing more than to have her by his side.. as mate, and leader.
