THE P A I N WE LOVE IS TAKING SHAPE
The contemptress was rather happy with herself, the chaotic little family her and Crowe had created. The man she was with, the powerful and stunning King. She truly couldn't get enough of him, but she knew she would some day have to share him with another woman or more perhaps. It made her feel a little protective, most of her wanting only him. Yet she knew the laws of this pack, and they had set in that they were polyamorous as far as she knew for the time being. Perhaps he would weigh his options, but he would always come home to her. She was so happy with her children, that part of her wanted more. After all, the whole point of the laws was to gain more members and produce children. Perhaps she could try her luck with another.
Her pull to Crowe was strong, both as her soulmate and her imprint. It seemed unfair that she was put in the position of being able to have more with others yet she felt so tied down. Would he care if she ventured out to another males grasps? She knew she would have some sort of feelings on it, but she understood where they stood in their relationship. Perhaps it was time to address it to him. Though, as she heard his call, she knew it would have to wait. The contemptress gave a small grin to her son and daughter, Chiodos and Salem, before heading to the clearing with them in tow.
Her children rounded up together, just missing little Talon still before she sat down beside her lover. She gave him a small nod of the head and a smile before he spoke. ”Thank you all for coming. I wished to do a check-up on everyone, and change up some rankings, hence why you are here.” Her emerald graze looked out to the small bunch in the clearing as he spoke. ”My children, Talon, Salem, Chiodos, Facilier, and Cruella, while you approaching adulthood, you are still ranked as pups. I will gladly listen to your ranking preferences, but know that a higher rank tends to require more desirability and likeability among the pack. Next – Narcissus. As far as I’m aware, you have not acted upon your iota duties, but given what I have heard of the current situation amongst other lands, I do not blame you. When the tension lessens, I expect you to help establish some alliances. Therefore, you will also remain as iota.”
Her eyes settled on the strange, tall man her beloved spoke to. He had yet to have luck with a woman here, and showed a bit of interest in her when he first came here. Perhaps that was something she could accommodate. ”Evergreen, I would like to make you Zeta. I can imagine more pups will be born here soon - and they will need someone to corral them as Echo, Narcissus, and I are out and about more.” Her gaze swept to the tiger man, who now had bird wings as well. A smile crept over her maw as she knew too of his potential romance with the new girl in the pack. ”Dwyn, as a new member of Amaya, you are placed at Sigma. I’m sure Uzi explained the desirability rule at the border, but as a brief reminder, your rank in most cases will represent your desirability and likeableness amongst the pack. And Uzi- And Uzi – I’m happy to say I want you as my Delta."
She stayed silent as Crowe spoke, as did Chiodos and Salem. A smile stayed on her face at the sight of Uzi's likely joy. ”And lastly, Echo and I remain as the alphess and alpha. If no one has rebuttals about your new ranking, you are all dismissed.” Echos gaze looked to her beloved, before a dragon like woman swooped in. A child on her back, how peculiar that the child didn't resemble her. “I am Irina, and this is my adopted daughter, Aemma. We are seeking to join your pack.” Now it made sense. Her eyes stayed on the two as the child spoke of her lover beside her. “Mommy? Is this guy a demon? He’s all blackish.” A small giggle left her lips. “No, Aemma,” Irina said gently. “It’s just the color of his pelt; he’s no demon.”
She spoke up, a smile still present on her face. "Welcome, Irina and Aemma. I am Echo, and my mate here is Crowe. We're the alphas of Amaya." She said shortly, before she saw a brown and bloodied wolf charge in. Her sudden stop gave confusion as the contemptress stood, worry shifting over her face. "My apologies for intruding so quickly and unanounnced ~ I'm Margaery, I was a member of Drekistone and then sort of a prisoner when their King died on our wedding day and was overthrown by his mother." Her emerald gaze went to Crowe as the situation got more serious. "There was a war, a Dragon army. I managed to free and lead as many as I could out of the lands who were prisoners, I'm not sure if they'll follow me or not here but they might end up at the borders if not coming in shortly behind me. The one was a Princess originally, named Sansa. She's reddish in color. The others were daughters of the Beta, the Queens brother and lover. Though they were mothered by another, so the Queen had taken them prisoner. Primrose and Nanala. There were two boys, siblings of the girls. They wouldn't leave their father, they likely died after we left. There were too many, we were out numbered greatly. I would not come here if I knew it would put you all in danger, we were followed, but she attacked us and was sloppy. I had to . . . to kill her. When the dragons came for us, my grandmother gave her life to distract the Queens guards, they killed her right in front of me. I'm sorry for asking for such a large favor of refuge, but I cannot bear to think what would happen to us if we do not have a home. If you turn me away, I will understand it."
The Alphess swallowed before looking to her mate, ultimately it was his decision on keeping her or not. But she could only imagine her bravery. Surely she was scarred, terrified even. But she saved who she could and fought off an attack. She was strong. She put a gentle smile on her face, turning back to the girl. "Welcome, Margaery. I am Echo, this is my mate Crowe." She assumed her husband would go over the terms and laws of the pack, and wondered if this pretty little flower would be his first lover after her. After all, the others didn't quite seem his type. But her, Echo might have to worry about.
