MEN SHOULD KEEP THEIR WORD,
Grey Wind had always known he would be a father, but he never imagined that it would be like this. He had always been reminded over and over again about his duties to his family. He was the oldest and it was his responsibility to keep the family going, so he would have no choice on whether or not he would be a father, it would just depend on what alliance was needed when his time came to chose who would be his mate. The male had never thought too much on this, on how unfair it would be to both him and the royal female that was chosen. It had just been his way of life and how he was raised. None of his siblings would have a say in who their eventual mate was, it was all politics. But it turned out that that was not the fate lined up for him. When his pack was attack, and most of them killed, he knew that his life as a royal prince was over. And that was when he really felt free and learned who he was. He didn’t want to be an alpha, always worrying about the way of the pack and lives of others. He just wanted to responsible for himself and not others.
But once more Grey Wind’s life changed. And it all began with Macaria. There life together was not a traditional one, but it had led them to where they were now. And they were happy and that was all that mattered. He had never imagined that he would willingly find a mate to love and start a family with, especially not with a unique femme like Macaria. But he was glad that it happened this way. She kept his life exciting and interesting, and neither of them were the type to just settle down and never have something new happen. When they decided to have pups, even though if it was for slightly different reasons, he couldn’t be happier. But in typical fashion, nothing was easy for his mate. She almost died bringing their young into the world, but there was another varg who was ready to step in and save her. Even though she had to die first to be saved. And it seemed that the world was ready for Macaria’s cannibalistic tendencies to go to the next level by making her a vampire. Grey Wind didn’t care what she was or what her habits were, as long as she was alive, in some sense, to be with him and their new family then they would be able to work through it. But Macaria had not been the only one to go through changes, though Grey Wind’s was not a potentially fatal change. The brute still did not fully understand what had happened, or why, but he had come to accept it. On one of his days when he had been out for some time, he had returned physically different. Scales snaked up his limbs, a pale pinkish white color. At first he hated them, tried to get them off, thinking about how foolish they looked with his silvery grey pelt. But, they made him unique, and he was slowly begin to accept that they were apart of him now. At least so far none of his attempts to remove them had worked.
And so far the mated pairs new life as parents together had been perfect. The male couldn’t be happier with the four pups that had been born, two males and two females. He could spend the rest of his life in the den just watching them, peaceful and naïve to the world. He wanted them to stay this small and safe and innocent forever, but with each day they were growing more and more. They began to wiggle around and explore the den, as much as they could with no sight or hearing. And then one day, it was time for them to really see and hear the world. Macaria woke them when the moon was high in the sky, a perfect time for them all the begin exploring the world together. The sisters were the first two to make an action, their little voices stirring his heart when he heard them speak for the first time. They clumsily walked to the edge of the den, getting their first views of the world that was outside their den. Yellow orbs watched the foursome of pups begin to explore their new senses, a smile on his features as he watched over them. His form closed the gap between himself and his mate, licking at her jaw affectionately. They had never been the most romantic of couples, but the pups had brought out a softer side of Grey Wind that had not been there before. At least not as out there as it was now. ”They’re beautiful, my love.”
