Northstar Vale When Stars Align

Cameo. Feel free to reference seeing a mass of black in the foliage before he disappears. Tags only for reference.

The pack was gathering, but Akavir was favouring his time with @Ibis. She was so near her time, and so neither of them moved far from the den. Only when she nestled within the confines of their den, promising to him she would sleep and he would attend the meeting to represent them both did he finally leave her side. He left her with @Viinturuth, who was new to the realm and less enticed to meet with so many fresh faces at once. Ibis was in good hands. Exhaustion wore on her, and it wracked at his nerves—birthing could be dangerous. What if something were to happen to her?

Before he could witness it, the raised voices and damnations met his ears, now strained forward. His pace slowed, his pale eyes catching briefly upon those in the gathering as all hell broke loose. There were angry voices—someone ousted from the ranks—snarls.

The flurry of movement was a blur to the swarthy wolf. He remained a distance—not venturing closer to better see the commotion. Instead, in that moment, his thoughts turned to Ibis and Viinturuth—his family. Not wishing to draw any attention to the Queen, Akavir crept back.

Questioned by his brother and wife of the happenings, he remained tight-lipped. To tell Ibis would upset her—worry her. She didn’t need the stress, and while he believed Viinturuth would see the barest glimpse of his raised hackles, he would simply tell his brother that they would be selective on who could see the Queen. For now, they would keep their heads low—and he would keep careful eye to ensure nothing endangered his family.
