Ender stopped as he realized something. "So Dawn was harboring Jackdaw? Star, this is not good. It's treasonous and will not be taken lightly should the queen find out. But he was using an incognito spell and Dawn is new to our lands. Perhaps that would be in her favor. But I would still tell Lady Dawn.." He stopped short as Avalon addressed him.
Avalon closed her eyes as she felt Sorcha's hand take her own. She squeezed it gently, gathering her strength and composer once more. She sighed and admitted, "You are right as always. I shall call for Racine to be present." Avalon said. She then looked over at Ender and ordered, "Send for King Racine. He will need to be present at the melding." She replied.
Ender turned to his queen. He clasp his fist and struck it to his chest over his heart, as he bowed his head. "Yes, my queen!" He said. But as he turned to leave, he looked to Star once more and sent a silent warning, "tell Dawn to use caution, princess."

(Lol! Yep!)
Graydon smiled triumphantly, "It seems I'm victorious. I shall now hear your pleas for mercy." He said in a kingly voice. He raised his chin overly high, with a hoity-toity look. creating a ridiculous picture.

Sergio clapped her hands together happily. "Ok! That's a wonderful idea!" She said excitedly.
Orson smiled knowingly down at Kristen. For he too had keenly felt their separation. "Is that right? There will be a test, just so you know." He replied playfully. He then caged Kristen within the strong hold of his arms and leaned over to nuzzle her neck and nibble her earlobe. "But you seemed to have no problems when we ran in the woods after you shifted, my heart. You wouldn't be playing with me?" He asked with a sensuous purr as he licked the bell of her ear. He was addicted to everything about his mate. Her smell, her taste, her voice, but especially her mind. She challenged him on so many levels.

"As am I." He replied truthfully. He savored Ember's casual touches. For in those moments, she was unguarded and opened like a book. "I find it's quite easy to be poetic with you as my muse." He stated with a radiant smile.

Aeval looked down at her hands and said softly. "We must sadly admitt, not very much. we've had only a few quiet moments. But we're here to rectify that lack of diligence. We will not let you down, Aurora. " Aeval looked up to gage Aurora's disappointed.

Ericsson nodded as he watched her walk away. He listened to the soft conversations of the wolves plotting their next attack. But his eyes slowly closed beyond his will. The effects of the day finally taking their toll.

Bob puffed up his feathers for Skylar. He huffed softly as he enjoyed the tickling. "Bob glad he no break rules. But me think, me sleepy. More then a little bit. " He explained with a yawn.
Jaxon walked over and smiled down at the little guy. "Well you do play hard. I'll give you that." He said with respect.

Zypher waited for Anna to shift back to her human form. He'd watched her gathering herself, before she did. She was pure alpha and in her element. She'd been alpha before, but his hyena hadn't really recognized her as his alpha. He'd wonders why it hadn't affected him with a bloodlust, like the other hyena males he'd grow up with. But now he understood with crystalline clarity, it was never something that he could simply give away, the alpha had to earned it from him. Her raw power called to him like no other. Anna was an alpha he NEEDED to follow. He felt it to the very marrow of his bones. And with that revelation, something clicked deep within him, forever changing him. It was a shift in his psyche so profound, that it put his whole miserable life into perspective. All those years of fighting for everything, had prepared him for this moment. An alpha that conquered all, as well as him. "Mine!" His hyena heart cried. Just as he'd fight any and all who tried to take her from him. He looked to her branded tattoo, as he approached Anna slowly. He kept his eyes diverted, so his alpha wouldn't think he was challenging her. He made a soft sound in an attempt to soothe her, before he offered his human neck to her in submission.
The sisters shifted to hyena and didn't bother with baring their necks, they laid down and rolled to their backs in submissive offering.
