Shane
There came a time in every young wolf's life when they had to decide whether they would stay in their birth packs forever, or leave and find his/her own way in life. Now at one year old, Shane decided it was his time to decide. Lately, unknown to everyone in the pack, Shane had been running off to meet with a lone Fae, at first they were just friends but now their relationship was growing into something much more... The two had dreams of starting a pack together and living their own life with their own rules... It was the classic love story. Shane was young, still considered a pup.. But he knew he was old and mature enough to leave, if that's what he wanted, which it was. With a sigh, Shane got to his paws and made his way over to the Kappa's den, where he knew his father was still recovering. "Dad..." He sat down near the sleeping form of Vail. It didn't take long for the Elite to react, raising his head he looked up at his son, lips smacking dryly.
"Shane?" He questioned, Shane nodded. "Dad.. I know you're injured and this may not be the best time to talk to you about this... But... I want to leave Archon, I want to become an Alpha!" He announced proudly. Vail stared at him for a long moment, ears slowly flipping backwards.
"You are only an Iota, Shane." "I know, but it is warmer now, I will probably find another pack to live in until I am two, or I will just start my own... I know I can do it, but I cant live in Archon any longer, I know that's not what I am meant to do... You understand, right?" He whined and laid down next to Vail, fearing his father would be angry at him. Vail gave a deep sigh and in the first time in many days, sat up.
"I understand, I often wonder what I would have been able to accomplish if I had left Archon when I was younger... Though I dont regret my decision, just a thought I have through time to time... If this is what you want, Shane, I will not try and stop you... I knew at least one of my pups would leave someday... And yet I was not quite prepared." The large brute whined himself, head dropping sadly. Shane gave another whine and leaned against his father. "I will be forever loyal to Archon, one day I'll return with my pack and maybe we'll merge or become allies!" Vail smirked,
"You've got big ambitions." "Well, so did you."
"That's true..." The two brutes sat together for a long time before Vail finally broke the silence.
"Have you spoken to your brothers and sisters... And mother?" Shane shook his head slowly, "No... I'm scared they'll be angry." Vail raised his head,
"You cant be scared, you must be sure of your decisions, or else you will not make it as an Alpha." Shane thought about it for a moment before nodding. "You're right, I'll say goodbye before I leave." Vail nodded. The two looked at each other for a moment before Shane pushed himself up against Vail, his neck wrapping around his in a sort of wolf embrace. Vail stared forward, ears fallen. He gave his son a lick to the side of the head before raising his paw and roughly, but playfully, pushing him away.
"Get moving." Shane smirked and nodded. "Alright!" He answered them raced off, leaving Vail staring out the Kappa's den.
"Good luck, son."
Shane went around the densite, finding all his siblings and informing them of leaving, he embraced them all then went to his mother, having a similar talk with her as he did with Vail, he then left and joined up with his mate to be, together they left Archon's territory in search of their own, both young and inexperienced... But with good instincts, together they would grow up strong and achieve their goal of making a pack... It would forever remain small but large enough to sustain itself... Shane still never forgot his promise to Vail, to someday return to Archon.
