Sindri’s Water Queen was pleasantly surprised to hear a call into her pack. Sickness had affected her twin sister Elise, as well as two of her sigmas, Icarus and Shiranui. Sindri was small already; two sick sigmas and a sick beta wasn’t good for its survival. She was glad that new blood could be welcomed in.
She had been discussing with Castiel the marriage pact that would be binding together all the packs of Starfall. Swallowtail would have liked to discuss it with her other cousin at the same time, but Gwydion was off doing some duty or other that he had taken up when she had assigned him as the pack’s head of hunting. Gwydion had always taken duty seriously. Life as a lambda was no different for the stoic man.
“Come, Cas; I need to greet this wolf. Sindri may receive a new member today,” Swallowtail told Castiel. He rose gracefully. She led him to the border, both of them mulling over things said in their conversation. Swallowtail caught her breath when she saw the stunning girl awaiting them. She was beautiful. Purple and blue crystals dominated the unknown newcomer’s body; she possessed captivating eyes of a light, innocent blue the color of ocean water, or of diamonds or ice. Bloody hell. She cleared her throat, needing to find her breath. “Welcome to the borders of Sindri. I am Swallowtail, Queen of Sindri. This is one of the pack betas, my cousin, Castiel.” She wasn’t sure how affected she sounded, but she knew the sight of the woman was making her feel all fluttery inside and she didn’t quite know why. “Are you seeking to join Sindri?”

“head down till the work is done.”
