The Sound of Goodbyes?

[ALANOR]

"Firstly, thank you for trusting me and my team with your life and fates. I know it probably wasn't a choice to many of you, because your rightful king, King Unar wasn't there, and so his mate had to step in.

"I appreciate the fact that you have been trustworthy and have been able to live better lives, even with me. I'm happy I managed to be one of the people you could talk to and befriend over the years.

"Thank you for trusting me, especially when I disappeared for almost a hundred years. Everything could have turned out so horribly, and you all didn't have to give me the chance to lead you, but you did, and for that, thank you," Alanor said as he looked at the lycans who had gone eerily silent.

He knew they were listening and they knew what he had said was true. They had Ileus and Leroy and they had been enough for the lycans, but then when Alanor came, so did their hope that Unar would come home.
