Seeing the mud covered form of her step son, a wolf who had made a mistake and broken the pack laws so horrendously, well it broke the dark Beta's heart. Just looking at him there, so pathetic, so broken, trying to mask his shame in layers and layers of mud was almost too painful to look at; he deserved the punishment that he had received, had the ties between New Dawn and Ichika not been so friendly then he could have brought the wrath of a whole pack down upon the new pack's heads, that had not happened though, Soran knew well enough that Noah had not been meaning to cause such trouble, that he had had no malicious intent, but still this had to happen. Soran hoped that in the end Noah would see that, that he would manage to redeem himself in the pack's eyes and be stronger for the whole experience, somehow, just somehow she believed that he had a strength in him that even he did not see. He had managed to survive his brute of a father and the ebony pelted female was sure that he would manage to survive this as well, she just wished that he would see the strength within himself, the strength that was so evident in her own jade eyes, and that he would draw on that strength now and fight his way back into the pack's favor. It might take a long time, but the male would be able to do it, however it was not going to happen if he stayed here and wallowed in self pity, no, something had to be done, he had to see that this was not the end, that there was hope for him yet. The sable female looked at him, in response to her speaking he seemed to bury himself deeper into the mud, as if he was attempting to hide from his coal pelted stepmother. Soran looked him over with sad eyes, velvety ears turning to catch the sound of him speaking, the stutter that she found so endearing was present once again, it had been lost when he had gone off the rails, drinking and taking drugs. Again the dark female's heart softened to him, he had been an idiot, he had brought shame on himself, but he was still the same male underneath.
The words that he spoke seemed so full of remorse that it made the dark female move closer, she dipped her head and sniffed at him, he barely smelt of the pack at all, the mud masking the scent as well as his silver fur. She nudged him gently with the tip of her snout, prodding him gently, trying to provoke some kind of reaction from him.
Come on. No walllowing here, you will never manage to redeem yourself in our Alpha pair's eyes if you hide yourself away like this. Besides it's cold, you mustn't stay here and get wet, you might freeze to death. On your feet, there's no good to be done by laying here feeling miserable and sorry for yourself. Come on, on your feet, that's an order young one. Soran spoke, her tone was warm and loving, although it was tinged with a sternness that showed that she meant what she had said, there would be no more laying in the mud feeling miserable, even though it was very hard it was time for Noah to dust himself down and carry on. The dark female let out a little whine of encouragement and nudged him again with her snout, this time at his shoulder, trying to get him to stand. This was going to take some work, but she was determined to help him redeem himself, he was family after all. She was going to put him to work in the lands she thought as she licked the mud from her muzzle.
