Accurately describing the happenings in Dahlia de Mai was near impossible; there were too many things kept from the public eye, too many ways to bypass the pack’s hierarchy, too many flaws with their ranking system. The Acer hadn’t always thought so, but with Cercelee’s forced removal from the Flos Floris ranks, every recent occurrence pointed to harsh reality; the pack revolved around Haku Soul’s every whim. In a way, she too was one of his followers. And for what reason? Emwe and Conor’s safety played a big part in her decision to stick around. Her love for the pack as a whole, especially the members deserving of her affection, prevented her from deserting the place she now called home. There was still hope for a brighter future. The newest generation; the two boys she’d raised, Mew’s children, and a select few others were worth the struggle. Her loyalty rested with the pure of heart and not the blue-eyed demon.
The Dreamer’s face became a mask of worry as their conversation took an unexpected turn. Alexey did not immediately reply when Anu’s first question rang clear, preferring to choose her words carefully before providing a response. Threats? None had stemmed from Inferni as of late. It was still unclear whether the coyotes had been the ones to litter the borders with metal jaws. The Rosen believed it was them and to a certain extent, so did she. Who else had it out for Dahlia de Mai? Whoever the culprits were (for some reason, she liked to assume there was more than one), they were dotted with incredible discretion. “Aside from a few unwanted intrusions,” Two young coyotes had recently ventured far too deep into their homeland. “No concrete threats so far.”
Beige-tipped ears flattened fully against her skull when yet another inquiry suddenly came up. It stung a little more than the previous one. “Haku is the Alpha,” she announced regretfully, choosing to avoid the Lt. General’s questioning gaze. Clearly, Crimson Dreams hadn’t yet gotten wind of the Rosea’s recent departure. “I’m the closest thing there is to Haku in Dahlian hierarchy.” And that wasn’t saying much. She, of all people, would never stand a chance against the demented male. Almost immediately, the Caregiver felt the need to justify herself. “I have to stay for Conor and Emwe.” Hopefully, Anu would understand the reason why she couldn’t follow in Cercelee’s footsteps. Haku Soul had brought two beautiful boys into her life, one of which she had involuntarily fallen in love with. She couldn’t leave them behind.
