Two nights in a row had the voices awaken him, panting, heart racing. Let me out! They screamed, forcing the young warrior to open his eyes. They're just nightmares... He repeated to himself, and over and over again he wandered aimlessly through the woods, trying to clear his mind.

He had been avoiding Meldresi the last couple of days, having noticed her growing belly and the hormonal changes that flooded the place with scents. He couldn't avoid thinking of what was to come. Are they mine? He kept asking himself unwittingly. If not his, who's pups would they be? Had Slade finally managed to seduce his goddess? And it kept going on, thoughts of it, and many other things, flooded his mind, and none of the questions were answered, he didn't want them to be answered.

The howl interrupted his thoughts, a good thing, but the howler was no one else than Meldresi herself, summoning her best men once again. There was no escape, he had to go, he had to. After hesitating for a moment, and almost drawing blood from his lip, he followed the source of the howl, to the southern reaches of the territory, where the smelly swamps were. And there, standing in a pedestal, indigo eyes glowing under the moonlight, Meldresi stood waiting for her subordinates.

Why was he always the first one to arrive?

Meldresi... the pale beast said bowing. He knew what she had called them, an initiation ritual, she spoke about that in the meeting, and even though he was nervous to be in front of [size=x-small]the mother of hiis children...[/size] Meldresi, he was excited to officially become part of the brotherhood.
