The sable female had awoken really early, she had been up long before the sun had clambered out of its own bed and made an appearance above the horizon. The truth was that the dark Beta did not sleep for very long anymore, she had always been a creature that did not need a lot of sleep, but now she was in a position of authority she had found that she could function on less and less sleep. So Soran had been up for a long time, the ebony pelted female had done her rounds of the lands, checking that the borders were nice and safe, she had managed to build a very tiny wall around the lands so far, rolling very small pebbles along the scent line to make it extra obvious that there was a pack here and that trespassing would not be permitted. Soran enjoyed the mornings, she liked the peacefulness of them, the quiet that came when all the other pack members were asleep, it gave her a long time to organize the things that needed doing before everyone else was awake. Once the other members were awake then the dark female would be able to delegate the jobs, but there were some things that she wanted to take care of herself, some things that she wanted to make sure were done just the way she wanted them to be, that way if anything went wrong then she knew that there was no-one at fault but herself, it helped that she knew that some things were entirely her responsibility. The sable female smiled to herself, she felt that she had managed to sort out the tasks that she needed to and so she began to pad towards the den once again. She wondered for a moment if Deuce was awake already, she had showered the pale female with kisses when she left this morning, but it might be nice to see her and spend the day with her, there had not been much time for quality time between the mates recently, especially with the problems that the pack had been having with Noah.
The sable female mused over the happenings of the last few days, it had been a rather trying time for everyone, including those who were closest to Noah, Soran was one of them, Noah was her step son after all and she could not turn her back on him, even if he had done some terrible wrong. Soran caught a familiar scent as she thought this, a scent that caused a smile to spread across her ebony lips, it was the newcomer to the lands, the young mottled brown female that had been so kind to Noah. She had tried to feed him when he had been clearly starving and had been chastised by Shandom for doing so, Soran had felt it important to step in and protect both the Omega and the new subordinate, but she could not do it again, she had allowed the rules to be flexed a little as it was. She knew that it hurt Zalen as much as it hurt her to see Noah in trouble, but still the rules had to be upheld and for the moment that meant that Noah was at the bottom of the pile, that he could not eat nor stay with the pack at the moment and that was simply the way it had to be. Soran moved more quickly now, following the familiar scent, she wondered for a moment where the young female was going; soon enough the scent crossed the borders of the pack lands, it seemed that the young girl was heading for the coast. Soran accelerated herself into a quick trot, nose ever vigilant with its sniffing, following the scent of one of the newer members of the pack. Soran knew that she had to follow this girl, already she was fond of her and besides, she had not been able to thank her when they had been in the pack lands, but she wanted to now, it showed that the young female had a kind soul. Not many had been kind to Noah recently, almost as if they had given up on him completely, that they saw no sign of redemption in him, but Ciara seemed to. Soran could not help but like the young female. Soon enough she caught up with the younger girl, she was standing at the edge of the cliffs, looking down over the water.
"It's quite an impressive sight is it not?" The sable female asked warmly as she approached, having slowed down to a casual walk. She could not keep her smile from her lips as she approached.
