Although many wolves had passed...neither Rogue nor Althrist looked any older than a wolf in its prime. Svelais walked toward Rogue with her head held high. Svelais - " ...I am not of your bloodline- " she started but Rogue shifted her dark sapphire blue eyes to look straight into Svelais's. Rogue - " Bloodline means nothing when it comes to the torch being passed. I see you as the most fit to become Alpha. The most fit to guide and protect the pack, to put them before yourself. It is your time to lead CrescentFall, Svelais. " the power within Rogue's gaze and voice stunned the young shewolf. She closed her eyes and bowed her head. Still not sure why the Alphas had chosen her...she was without abilities unlike most of the pack, she didn't have wings, and she wasn't even fully of the pack since her father had been from a different pack. Rogue and Althrist spread their wings as the pack celebrated Svelais's new position within the pack. When Svelais looked toward where the Alphas were, both were gone. The only sign they were even there were their reassuring scents and a feather shed from their wings. Svelais's story had only just begun...
Svelais has not been pair bonded since her first mate passed, and has no remaining pups from that pair bond. - I also took a long break from Wolvden around the time this happened ( SilverSoul )
