Ouroboros Spine gold ashes

[size=small]Though she could not claim that the load she held upon her shoulders was one she carried with ease, she could also not say that it was a burden. Even if the dark and in the light, in the bad and in the good, the pale yearling was in love (or rather addicted to) the regal status she wore while sitting in her throne. And as she had proven before, not even the brusque loss of her crown was enough to stop her ambition, if anything, it only served to fuel it.

On the other hand, being a 'mother' was something completely new.
It was a title she was slowly learning to digest. And while it was perhaps -- no it definitely was-- a life changing decision for the female as well as for the brown Beta, she was becoming every day more certain of her choice. In the midst of the thriving success with which they seemed to the ending the cold Winter season and the fruitful results of their most recent recruitments, the decision of seizing the pack's prosperity with the plans of motherhood had come easily.
Now, that she was at her peak, both of her youth and her recognition, she felt the need to go beyond.
There needed to be more of her own, more Spine wolves, but in particular --more to share her last name.
More Moretti's.

With another silent chuff and an amiable wave of her tail she continued to lead Alusia down the snowy path that contoured the outskirst of the Spine. "Alusia --what's your last name again?" she began, her voice coming out almost as a pleased purr, which was bluntly interrupted by the own question that stranded from her lips. She did want to know her better -- especially more so after she had offered her support so openly (not like a subordinate but as a friend).
"Thank you" she concluded, turning her head ever so gently to connect her nose to the female's shoulder in a quick, grateful motion.
