[attr="class","pltxt"]Sometimes it was strange to come back into Vasilios territory. He knew there was an unspoken rule that he was allowed free passage - Dione had made it very clear that he was allowed to see his children when he pleased. He had no interest in interfering with her pack and its workings, and he was not looking forward to the confrontation that he anticipated when Dione had not only realized Draco did not plan to return home, but had instead opted to remain with his father outside of her territory. In time he may change his mind. After all, right now Vorilye's life was far less stable than a home in Vasilios. He would never fault his children for choosing to remain somewhere they knew rather than venturing out into the big, open world beyond their birth pack's borders. Regardless of their pack affiliations, they were blood. And Vorilye would uphold his promise to be their for his children.
While it had been more made out loud to Dione, Vorilye was far more intent on breaking the cycle. He did not want his pups to grow up without a strong male role model, and he would be damned before he let Dione's pet dog Ambrose step in and be that model for Cygnus, Carina and Elara. He actually felt less ill will towards Dione now than he did the brute; if anything, he wondered if the male had been barking in his prior mate's ear over time, simply setting up the distrust and uncertainty she now felt about him. It would not surprise the Patriarch, but what damage was done was done. There was nothing between them anymore, and while he still loved her, it was a far more platonic love. His time and distance from her was starting to clear the fog over him, allowing him to see the faults between them. Their personalities had been quite incompatible in the long run, and now they were simply two alphas that co-existed and co-parented their children.
It often took a while to trek back through the woods from Rodina lands, but it was worth every second of it to see his kids again. Draco was safe under the protection of Almathea; he would trust his cousin with his life at this point. She was of Valyn blood and Saphira's daughter, and the older femme had been nothing but a pleasure to encounter throughout his life. Perhaps she would be happy to hear of her daughter's wellbeing, but Vorilye would not blindly betray Almathea by revealing her proximity without speaking to her first. But it was only a matter of time with his wandering between the pack lands before something about Rodina came up in conversation between himself and the now neighboring pack.
Finally, the male emerged in the clearing he knew to be close to the entrance of the Vasilios dens. Even with his permission to be here, he would not defile the sanctity of their dens, and if anything he did not want to. That place felt foreign to him, as did the soil beneath him. Talim was just about the only friend he had ever had in Vasilios with Neviah and Isaiah gone. The girls were never negative towards him, but they simply did not have a dog in any fight between the former Monarch and his prior mate. It would do Vorilye well to see them grow and succeed; they had been the very start of Vasilios, and it warmed his heart to see any pups raised well. All three girls had turned out well, even with their less than stellar luck in life so far.
This was the life he was forced to live until the pups were older and made their own decision. He would not present Rodina to the other three; Draco had simply forced his hand on the matter. But he wanted nothing to do with the disappointed look he knew would be in their mother's eyes if he continued to take her children away.
He would never wish that on anyone.
