& Roam The Earth With Me For Life

”My love, my sunrise, I will always be here for you." Those were the words she needed to hear from him. Her pain relieved in her heart, and her fear for now had vanished. She knew that fear would always loom, her father figures over the years had done too much to plague her heart with such feelings. Unfortunately she was so damaged now that she was projecting those fears onto Achilles, all she could try to do was work on it. Her fears had subsided for the moment, and she had felt briefly okay enough to greet the new faces that came to the grounds. As she spoke her title she noted the small glance Achilles had given her, like he had expected her to say something different.

She was confused on the matter, they had spoken of their feelings for each other but she did not have a higher rank than such - They never made it official that they were together. She loved the idea of being his, but she was terrified to say the least. She never pursued anyone, and the only time she had ever actually had something like a relationship it was a mess. Her father had sicked the man on her, a mute that refused to even tell her his name but her father had demanded to keep the lineage going. For her to reproduce with that man. Sickening. The Princess hadn't thought of him in some time, and honestly liked it that way. It was almost like Achilles presence in her life had driven out the very thought of Raziel.

She had shut down for the most part, her fears began to bubble back up. What if she wasn't good enough? What if he enjoyed the company of someone else? She looked to him as he attempted to nudge her and bring her out of her funk, before she spoke out to the boy and young lass who did not reply to Achilles. "Young ones, Achilles asked for your names." She spoke to them, before quickly turning to face the Alpha next to her as he spoke.. ”Now that there are at least a few of us here, I would like to assign some ranks. First, those of you who are not yet adults… At this point in time, you will be ranked as Omegas once you have reached adulthood. Your ranking after that may change depending on how you show yourself.” She stayed silent as he spoke, waiting to hear her name and what role he would assign her.

”Art’mis, based off of your statement, I designate you as Kappa. Do note though, I wish for you to hone on your combat skills, as we neighbor one of the biggest packs of Starfall – Hawthorne, home of vampires. Although at this point, we are on neutral terms, and I hope to stay on neutral terms, if not good terms, I would like for all members of Sabertooth to be well trained in combat. Laz’rus, based off your introduction, you will be Sabertooth’s Theta. In addition to such, you mentioned being a spirit walker. I do not wish to trouble you too much, but because of neighboring Hawthorne and their tendency to consume others, many of which now lie to rest in Ashen Woodlands, I would like for you to keep track of how many souls there are victims of Hawthorne’s behaviors. Mar’us, for now, I wish to designate you as a Sigma, with chance to advance to Delta with enough experience. I will train you, and others who are lacking in combat knowledge, in the meanwhile. Cosette, provided you wish to join our ranks, I would like to place you as a Zeta.”

She watched everyone placed get assigned, even those who did not speak. She felt fear rise in her once more. Her fears were settled by Achilles wing resting over her, her icy gaze looked to meet his own eyes - And then he spoke those words that left her nearly breathless. ”And Pandra, for those who have not been able to tell, will be alphess alongside me.” She . . . She was his announced as his Queen. In all of the years she had known her bloodline was royal, she never pictured herself as an actual Alpha. Now she had a crown set on her head by the man she loved. Was this how they were to be officially mates? Oh, how she hoped.

His paw placed over hers gently as she still looked to him, his jaws came closer to her audit as he whispered to her. ”I will handle most of it, my love, I do not wish for tch’ya to be feeling any sort of stress. We will talk more later, my sunshine. For now, I have to continue.” She nodded, her mouth turning to a smile. "Thank you, my dear . . . I love you." She murmured softly to him. He turned back to speak to the rest of the pack. ”The laws of Sabertooth are few, but simple. Firstly – respecting one another is a must, regardless of ranking. You will respect those above you and below you while maintaining the duties of your ranking. This also applies to situations such as minor disagreements to serious situations, such as cases of non-consensual relations. If you feel as if you cannot solve this issues by yourself or amongst yourselves in a non-combative manner, you must report this to a wolf of higher standing, if not Pandora or I. Any cases of disrespect not solved in this way may be reason for dismissal from Sabertooth. Secondly – Do not start issues between Sabertooth and other packlands. We have no allies, nor enemies yet. The more allies that we can form, the better. Finally – All wolves must have combat training of some sort, either to be trained by me or a future Delta. With Hawthorne being in our backyard, if they decide to come after us, we need to be prepared.”

Ah, the Hawthorne pack. She had heard much about them, how their numbers had skyrocketed and their blood thirst. ”Now is the time for questions and/or concerns before I adjorn the meeting.” He wrapped his wing around her once more, and she leaned on him gently. Her head nestled under the side of his jaw. The clouds of her pelt showing her sadness had departed, sun shinning through now in the bright colors of her sunset form. She wanted to put him to rest about Hawthorne, and let him know that they would be fine - But she couldn't. Hawthorne was only known for death. Maybe an alliance with another large pack could do it, but they would need something to seal the deal. For now she'd have to let that sit and wait until she could truly figure out how to benefit the pack with allies.
