This wolf is currently on a pair bond cool down for 29 rollovers! She can't form a new pair bond until then! This wolf has not rolled over today and will not be able to be traded or gifted until its next rollover.
As the older daughter of the founding alpha's second litter, Ro knew she would have SOME responsibility, but hoped it would be far less than some of her unluckier chosen sisters. This included the hope that she would be able to choose her own mate when the time came. She was remiss to discover that her future had been decided for her.
"What?? Mother, you can't be serious! I don't even get a choice in who my mate is??"
Amorolai, her mother, an alpha in all senses of the word, stared back at her placidly. "He's a fine wolf, Ro; strong and dependable. You'll have plenty of time to get to know him. You'll come to like him in time. The future of our pack and our bloodline is vitally important, and he is closer to our ancestors than any other I've ever seen."
The adolescent glowered at her. "Is that all I am to you...? Some kind of... breeding stock? Just a pawn for your plans?"
Her mother's look immediately softened into an open frown, regretting her words. "Of course not... I love you... I just-- I'm trying to-- I-I need to--"
"What you NEED to do is stay out of my life," Ro growled lowly, flicking her tail against the larger's nose as she stalked past. "Thanks for the talk, Amorolai. It's been enlightening."
