The boy had waited a couple of days to let his new friend settle in-- and to see if Lennon meant what he had said. Unfortunately, he had. Alarian was left with no choice but to announce it to the pack when his lover did not retract his resignation from leadership. He knew he wasn't ready-- the whole pack probably knew he wasn't ready.
It was early in the morning when he rose, anxious after a night of little sleep, and left the safety of the cavern he had claimed as his den. He lingered around the large boulder for which the pack's territory was named, and after a few beats sent out a call for his packmates. The boy waited, nerves frayed, for everyone to gather before he made the announcement.
