Blackfeather Woods In the Shadow of the Moon (Pack Activity!)

With a somber glare Damien waited for the meeting to develop under the still bright glow of the moon. For several minutes Damien stared at it, being slowly consumed by the devious hands of the spider goddess. It was an impressive sight, and it truly felt like Mephala was there. So cold. So dark.

For a moment, the silence was perpetual, but Meldresi broke it when the last of the pack members joined the meeting. She explained the reasons behing the reunion, and called one of the new members forward. Damien's cold and pale eyes fixed on his face, savaged just like his. He wasn't expecting the male to speak, but the words that escaped his lips didn't please him at all. A growl started rumbling in his throat, how dare he speak of his parents like that? There was no right, nor was it the moment. But the growl was never released, and Meldresi proceded with the appointment.

It was surprising. A male that had been a member of the pack no longer than the time it took Damien and Cicero to work up their plan was being named Beta, when it took Burke no less than half of Damien's life to get he same position. Akela had a great deal to prove to Damien yet, and he wouldn't acknowledge his new title. That was not his to take. It belonged to Damien, and he would take it one day.

Cicero stepped forward with a question that had been lingering around Damien's thoughts for way too long. There were many more then, but as that specific one emerged it spiked Damien's interest. His mother, the dark queen of Blackfeather Woods, was supposed to be Burke's right hand and vice versa. Not Akela, whoever he might be. Damien wanted to hear the answer to the question, and all his senses focused on his mother for the moment.
