"You're right about those assumptions. Truth be told, there isn't anything I wouldn't do for the pack, or my family. Revera helped with that. She mad me care in something beyond meeting a worthy opponent and a worthy end. I damaged the pride she had in me by acting like a fool. I wasn't in my right mind, and damaged everything."
Sigurd looked at his pup, licking her ear affectionately. "I can't come home yet. Mommy doesn't want me around at the moment. There isn't anything I want more than to come home to be with all of you. But I won't be able to, I think, for a short time."

Scarlet said nothing as she cuddled into her father's side.
Daddy what should I do about Vikas?

"Baby, you need to be strong. Not for me, or yourself, but for your mother and siblings. I would take you with me, but where I am staying is very dangerous, and I'd be putting you at risk. That would make me a very poor father."

Myria raised an eyebrow at Scarlet.
You should not antagonize him too much, Scarlet. Vikas has lost things that were important to him. He stays to try and keep our pack safe. He has knowledge that we do not. He really is not a bad wolf...why won't you try to get to know him?

Scarlet growled.
I don't care. He made daddy leave!

Vikas did not make Sigurd leave. Your parents just need to work some things out. Sometimes...those things are better worked out when they are separate. the beta stated gently.
She glanced at Sigurd, deciding that she may have over-stepped her boundaries. Myria sat down, allowing her bushy tail to curl around her paws.

Scarlet growled, lashing her tail.
You're on his side too!

Myria narrowed her eyes.
I am not on anyone's side. I am a beta of the Shadow Keepers. My job is to protect this pack, and that includes you, Scarlet. Vikas has dealt with the threat we now face; we need him to help us. If we get rid of him, we could all die. With him, we can prevail against this new threat. Do you understand? You need to learn how to think about things from all sides, Scarlet...looking at things from what angle best suits you will get you into big trouble one day.

"Myria's right. There aren't any sides. I wasn't in my right state of mind when I made a big deal out of nothing, but I'm trying to fix my head. Though I have encountered these two legged things as well. That's how lost my eye." Sigurd said, looking at his daughter, before looking at Myria.

Scarlet sighed.
I guess you are right Aunty Myria. I am not going to apologize to him. I do not like him but if he is the best thing for the pack then so be it. Keep him away from him please.
She turned to her father and cuddled into his side.
Please don't leave me daddy.

Myria nodded at Sigurd and smiled.
I will try to keep the two of you separate, but you may need to work together eventually. Myria told Scarlet.

Sigurd licked his pup's head and nuzzled her side. "I won't. But if Mommy sees me as a threat to the pack, or as a potential threat to you four, I will remove myself. The last thing I want to do, is hurt any of you."

"well said Myria." Revera barked striding between the group. Her hard eyes landed on her daughter, heart still pounding. " I was awake Scarlet. I heard everything." Ber deathly calm voice underlayed her rage and shame. She gripped her daughters scruff hard and pulled her from the conversation. She dropped the pup away from the others her golden eyes flaming. "how dare you. I dont care if you dont like him Scarlet. . No pup of mine will ever speak to an elder like that again. Do you understand me."

Scarlet whined at the sudden movement and glared at her mother.
Just because you are in love with meanie face Vikas doesn't mean I have to be nice to him! He's trying to get rid of daddy! She snapped. Taking her sisters advice and not holding it in.

Myria cringed internally but maintained a stoic facade.
When my older brother snapped at our mother like that...he never forgot the lesson he learned.
