you'll always be right by my side
__________________________________________
The ashen Queen had taken her time returning from the sweet escape with her mottled knight. Days had blurred into nights and again into days as the time passed by the lovers, who sat so alone in their own little world. The world had merely consisted of the two of them and the pups beginning to form within her womb. The heirs to the throne of Aurora. There had been some slight swelling in her abdomen, though without trained eyes one would have not noticed. She teased Kalgalath gently and he replied with the same ease of phrase, Do I… Know you? Sebring narrowed her eyes with a playful expression, but couldn’t help the eruption of laughter as Kalgalath nibbled at her audit. She in turn swept her tongue up the curvature of his cheek before nipping at his ear in return. Are you excited to meet your pack, Queen Sebring? Honey gazers looked out across the clearing and the surrounding woods. A small smile lifted her kissers, she couldn’t believe where she was. Excited in an understatement my darling King. Elated would better fit my mood. She paused to take a breath of air, I’m betrothed to the handsomest brute that ever wondered the earth and I will be a mother to his unborn sons in the coming spring. How could I not be the luckiest lady in the whole of Blossom Forest? She nudged him gently. She knew it was a foreseeing motion to speak aloud the unknown gender, but something just told her she was right. Motherly instinct if you will.
Sebring pulled herself tall as wolves began to flood into the clearing. A duo of yin and yang padded into the clearing first. Their colored pelts not just a distinct of appearance but of their demeanor as well. The young, onyx colored brute nodded to each of the leaders in turn before taking a seat just before them. The white ess was much bouncier, her attitude full of hope and glee. Hello, Unlce Kal! Hello beautiful lady! Who might you be? Sebring huffed a laugh to herself, she’d never been called beautiful by anyone other than Kal. She smiled at the young ess letting her beloved speak before her. My name is Sebring. I’m am Kalgalath’s mate and new Queen of Aurora Borealis. What might your name be, dear? She paused, her smile still holding confidently. Her gaze flickering momentarily to the flash of a new wolf in the clearing before returning to the dark gazers of the snowy ess. Sebring would continue a little conversation with the lassie while Kal spoke to Universe, but her gaze fell to the next arrival after the brute.
The slender, midnight figure of Magic padded into the clearing with Tarly trailing, not so far behind. Sebring’s façade lit up at the sight of the little brute. Even magic acknowledged it, Kal, Sebring. Good morning. This is my son, Tarly. I know you’ve met him before, Sebring. He’s excited to see you again. The ashen queen smiled a little more, she would soon be a mother to her own pups. Meeting Tarly had brought out the motherly instinct in her, and she hoped that after the pups birth that Tarly might befriend them when they grew up. Sebring looked towards Tarly, an encouraging smile on her façade as Kal spoke to him. She knew that the little one was slightly terrified on him, seeing as he was so massive in comparison. Hello Tarly. If you ever need anything, feel free to find me and ask. Sebring spoke up to the pup, hoping to calm some of his fears. She would have climbed down from her seat had it not been such a formal meeting. I’m always right here if you need me as well, Tarly. She spoke softly, trying to lessen the overbearing sound of her voice from above. The little bruteling remained quiet but that did not bother Sebring. She understood what it was like to be in his position. She’d even told him so, when they’d first met. But the mood did not remain somber for long as the cheerful voice of Chenzii broke through the air, her ebony body so akin to Magic’s that she half wondered if they were related sometimes. She dipped her head back to Chenzii in greeting, before her gaze flickered to the next wolfess—Khaleesi.
The little snowy angle plodded in, her façade dreary and limbs heavy with sorrow. She made the gesture of dipped her head to the Alphas but she remained seated in a corner away from prying eyes. Her own gazers watching for the appearance of her mother. Hellene was quick to arrive after her daughter. She padded towards Sebring and Kalgalath, though her smile was more towards Sebring. The ashen lady lifted her lips momentarily in a tiny smile, visible only to Hellene. She knew that look, but both ess’ remained quiet for the time being. Seeing as the surprise in her was only known to her, Kal and now Hellene.
Sebring looked away from Hellene and found herself surprised to see a ‘fox-wolf’ standing amongst their midst. She blinked making sure her vision had not deceived her, or the pregnancy affecting her. But there he sat… tall, fiery and quiet. I’m assuming you are Brendon Urie? It is good to meet you, I am Kalgalath. Sebring took a mere second to add her name as well, And I am Sebring. Pleasure to meet you Brendon Urie. She turned her honey gazers to the last wolf arriving, a lone girl who proceeded to pad towards Universe and take a seat by his side. There was no formal greeting observed, and Sebring could have only assumed Kalgalath knew the little lady. But she was left no time to think on it as her mottled knight began the meeting, I would like to thank all of you for coming. We have some newer members that you all may not have met, including Sebring, Universe, Brendon Urie, and Niara. He gestured to each of them in turn. The first bit of knowledge that I will share with you is that I have taken Sebring, here, as my mate. She is to rule as Queen at my side - treat her with the same respect that you give unto me. The next bit of knowledge is that our sister pack, Saw Tooth, has been destroyed by a volcano, as unlikely as that sounds. Many of them are seeking refuge here - be kind to them, and help them should they need anything. I know this winter has been cruel, but share what we can with them. Finally... Sebring lolled along to the sound of his voice but as it broke into silence she knew what was coming next. Her crown dipped, slightly embarrassed by the attention. A blush rose on her cheeks but she smiled all the same. ... We can happily announce that we will soon have pups running around these boundaries again. Sebring and I are expecting pups soon. We will keep you all appraised of the situation and will let you know when they are born. Sebring nodded her head quietly, not having much to say seeing as it was only her first pack meeting.
Kalgalath doled out the rankings succinctly, before wrapping his speech up. Should you have any questions about your rankings, seek out Sebring or myself. Sebring had raised her crown by then a smile lifting her rosy lips.
