Alexey appeared like the angel she was, and it was hard to not let the pain take visible paths as he let her sit down next to him. The sensation was bittersweet, but he found calm with more ease in her presence. Tongue lazily rubbed against his lower row of teeth as a few more pack members appeared. Lilac eyes gained more focus as time went on and the Rosea glittered with her absence. Ears folded backwards in the miserable weather and he predicted something horrible. His eyes stayed on the form of the Lilium and nothing else. When his father spoke up without the presence of the ivory leader, the boy knew that all was lost. He was confused, because he had trusted her despite the odd settlement with Haku Soul as her second in command. Now he was about to be betrayed again and his lavender eyes widened as the fresh news were served from what seemed to be their new Alpha. Haku, their Rosen. Haku, the leader of Dahlia de Mai. No. Jaws pressed together so hard it hurt. How could Cercelee allow this to happen? He did not believe it. Where was she? What had he done to her?
Perhaps the young male’s emotions showed for a moment, but managed to get a hold of his unhappiness. He patiently waited and listened to everything his father had to say in the shortened speech. He could only wonder where Cercelee was and why she was not here to prevent all of this. His gaze switched too Slay with silent plead in his voice. What was wrong, where was their rightful leader? Cwmfen nic Graine had left them behind. Would Cercelee do the same? How could she possibly let Haku take over the reigns? No, it was so very wrong. Conor did not want to join the discussion about Dahlia’s safety. With his father on the throne this pack would be doomed. The young Soul male was well aware of that his emotions were clouding his thoughts severely, but this was not grand news in any way. Haku had terrorized him when he had been a mere child. If it had not been for Alexey then he know now what kind of horribly ruined creature he would have been today.
When his father’s electric blue gaze fell on his son again, Conor managed to toss in a deep bow with his head before the leader’s gaze left him as Addison spoke up. This was over for his sake. He did not want to be here anymore. He turned away and left the gathered group of what seemed to be the current Dahlia. He was afraid for the future.
