There was a sense of joy in the alpha that had been lost for the past week. Lorenzo was now part of the pack, he had his daughter and two sons now and, although he felt guilty for them leaving Ghita, it brought him joy. Aro and Sophia had been unexpected but Jazper took on the role of fatherhood like a glove to a hand. The entire process seemed to come naturally. Perhaps it was the fact that he felt the need to over compensate for the father ne never had, or hardly had, or that he never wanted his children to leave him but the coal male was selfishly in love with each of his pups, be them pups or adults. No matter how old they were the five young adults would always be his little ones, in need of his guidance and support.



Sitting in the lounge the warrior put his feet up on the table in front of him. It had been a long day for both of them, Jazper with his duties and Lorenzo exploring the new pack. Glancing over at his son, who sat across form him the Scottish wolf spoke up, “How was your first day?” Although the light brown male probably had spent his day wandering and doing nothing of excitement the father felt compelled to ask. He could remember, when he was even younger than Enzo, sitting in Deuce’s lap in the manor’s living room. It was a comfort to be relaxed with a parent, a luxury that not every wolf had. The male’s mind wandered once more to the boys mother, who he resembled greatly, “How is your mother coping?” The question probably wouldn’t help the boy feel any better about the situation but Jazper’s curiosity was too great to hold back. Was she happy without him?

Moving to a new home was always difficult, but for so many canines to start in a fresh home, it was all but impossible. It seemed that it would take everyone a while to adjust. Some, such as Jazper and Enzo, were adjusting to a new home, away from their old family and friends, while others such as Dixie and Rurik were adjusting to the entire idea of a pack and having others to depend on. It was a risk having so many loners in such a new pack but Jazper was willing to take it. They would learn that everyone leaned on everyone. Even distant Rurik would learn that he was part of a family now. Looking at he son he couldn’t help but look away and stare off as he talked about Ghita. She was probably pissed at him for leaving but he had to. Although he had loved her, their love had always been that of responsibility and love of their children more than a passion for each other. Perhaps it was just time to move on.


A movement form the side of his vision caught his attention and he turned back to the living room to see Fia come in and take a seat with a chirpy greeting. Good evening darling. The gentle Scottish added to his soothing voice. The father may appear to be a large, domineering leader at first glance but everyone who spent more than a few minutes talking to Jazper knew him to be soft in the heart. Sighing he spoke again. So what have you two been thinking about? His own thoughts weren’t appropriate to share with his children, who were still dealing with their parents split so he played the safe card. I think this place will be fine after we finish sprucing it up and the members around here are nice enough. Himself or Anann had accepted them all so of course they were agreeable.
