I go out exploring, figuring I need to get to know this new world if I plan to live in it. It's a habit from my old life, my past life. Always know your exits and always know your territory, your surroundings. Always be aware. And so I'm out exploring. Also hunting. I caught onto a good rabbit trail a few miles back and now I'm following it around the outskirts of the crater hole. As I go, I'm taking my time, checking out the trails, the scents. I'm catching onto some familiar scents, some not so familiar. I'm learning a little bit about every wolf that survived the blast. I know by this time that Moladian will survive, that there will be repopulation and Moladian will be ours once more. There will be a difference this time though. Heyel wants power again. He was comfortable with it. He lives for it and it suited him well. I took power to get a taste and I got that. I haven't talked to Kiska about it yet but I'm thinking about going to Heyel's pack this time, let him be my alpha for a change. I'm sure he'll enjoy the heck out of that. I hope Kiska won't mind not getting the chance to be queen. All I know is that my time on the throne is done. Now it's up to my heritage. I believe Kane plans on taking over a pack this time, putting his mate Isola on the throne. As Heyel's daughter, she should take to that just fine. She's a sweet girl, a pure girl and he suits her well. They will be unstoppable. He is just like me in stature and nature but his life revolves around Isola. He will protect her until his dying breath. My world was turned upside down during that meteor strike. My imprint on Natalya was severed, broken, and it drove me mad. I couldn't think, couldn't move, couldn't do anything for what felt like hours. Kiska was there with me but I couldn't see her, couldn't focus on her. My world was filled with pain and anguish as I fought for that connection to Natalya. I love her, that will never change. I wanted her because of the imprint but it didn't make me love her. I chose to love her. I couldn't fight that. She made me fall for her just like Kiska made me fall for her. I know that Natalya made it through the blast and every second that I don't see her is driving me mad. I must see her, touch her. But that's not what this is about. I make it to a little overhang and decide to take a break. Sitting down, a heavy sigh drips from my lips as I look around, ears flickering alertly. |
