White rose up in surprised and his golden eyes widened when Lachesis mentioned that a female of Hearthwood River had been attacked by a wolf from Whitestone. This of course came as a complete shock to the former Whitestone healer and a frown was soon etched upon his agouti features as the large alabaster male continued to explain how he and Lilya had taken a trip to the monadnock to confront the pack.
“I-I had no idea.” Lorcan gasped, golden gaze glanced up to Lachesis innocently.
“I’m so sorry..” He added, his black-tipped tail falling limply behind his legs ashamedly.
Lorcan was still confused, however. Whitestone had been dealing its own internal issues, primarily the long-term absence of Craw, to even consider starting trouble with wolves from neighbouring packs and, besides, the wolves he had left behind at the monadnock were not the type to go and attack wolves needlessly – except maybe
one. His top lip twitched and his frown deepened as he dared to ask delve deeper into the situation.
“Do…do you know who it was?” He asked with serious concern.
“The wolf—Mittani…” His tail lashed behind him violently at the name and his charcoal lips curled back to exposed a set of pearl white fangs.
Of course that conniving bastard was to blame! As he continued to listen to his new leaders plans on how to deal with the situation, his heart sunk when @
Lachesis suggested the alliance between Hearthwood and Whitestone may not last. Kisla’s plans to form an alliance with the Rye wolves also did not entirely please him, but he figured now that he was no longer residing in the lowlands, there was less of a chance of him coming in to contact with Askan now and it would be a bad idea to bring up his past troubles with the dark male now. He needed to gain the Lachesis’ trust, not give him any incentive to distrust his character.
“I would just like to say, sir, that Mittani was nothing but trouble at Whitestone. He was only tolerated because he was an old friend of Craw’s and I am almost certain that Wraith and Piety are as glad to see him gone as you are…I assure you that they had nothing to do with the attack. None of us did..” He said, dropping submissively towards the ground as he tried to assure his new leader that, when it came to Whitestone, wolves like
Mittani were the exception not the rule.
Conversation then turned to his future role within Hearthwood and Lorcan waited nervously to hear what role Lachesis would have him take on. The smile that pulled across the dark lips of the alabaster male did well to lessen his anxiety and a smile soon spread across his own charcoal lips when Lachesis suggested he take on which ever role he was most comfortable with performing. Black tipped tail wagged behind him with enthusiasm.
“I…um, think I would like to continue with the role of Healer, if that is okay with you?” He asked with a hopeful gaze.
“I found the role to be very rewarding at Whitestone and I’d love it if I could continue to help the wolves in Heathwood, alongside yourself..” He explained, before adding.
“But, I understand if you would like to put me on some kind of probation period first, to make sure I am up to standard for this pack – It makes sense, with the pups due and all…” He said awkwardly, before finally falling silent. He’d done all that he could to convince Lachesis of his desire for the role, it would now be up to the alabaster leader to decide if he would be offered it.
