I can't know the reasons for what everyone does. I don't know why Weylin wants revenge on Diveen for something they didn't do and I don't know why he didn't discuss it with Sulan before simply challenging him and exiling him from Glorall. I guess it's not my job to know or I would by now but I can't simply turn my back on Sulan. True, we could never really call each other friends but he was never an enemy. He was simply strange at first but now he's found love and a family and I'm sure he needs protection more than anyone. They have found sanctuary in Diveen but I'm sure it's not the same for him. He was an alpha and that doesn't just leave your system. Perhaps that's why I never tried for the crown myself. I was never made to be an alpha, but it doesn't mean I don't appreciate a little bit of power for myself. He seems sad when he looks at me, as if he let me down and I wish I could reassure him that he did not but I'm sure that's a losing battle. He tells me that it wasn't enough, his tail drooping behind him as he tells me that I'm the best. I think of Cobryn and how far he's come but how far he has yet to go and I can't help but shake my head. I'm far from the best, Sulan, but I know that you wouldn't have gone to the battle grounds if you weren't willing to give your all. You would have just handed it over but you didn't. You fought and that means something. It means you never gave up and I'm not going to give up either. My eyes burn fiercely into his, wanting him to know that I mean every word. At his question, my brow furrows. I glance at the ground, sure that anything he hears about Glorall moving on are only going to hurt him more. Quiet. They're still figuring out ranks and getting ready for a pack hunt. He's sending out wolves to gather allies though for what, I'm not sure. I look up at him, questions in my eyes, questions about him. Is he going to be alright? I wonder if any of the others think about him. I'm sure Cobryn would be happier with him as alpha over Weylin. He wanted the peace, not the fighting that Weylin promises. Should I have taken him out when Weylin took over? I'm not sure and we haven't spoken about it yet, though it needs to come out. |
