It had started with nothing but a cough.
As the days grew longer, it grew to be so much more than the elder alpha could have ever imagined. Vorilye's bounce back to health seemed to have been temporary at best; the aches and pains of the last year grew in force with each passing day, yet the alpha had managed to keep it under wraps for all this time. The pack was growing stronger once more, and the large mackenzie valley male had put forward a strong face. His sons were everything he hoped for; they were everything his first sons had not been. It seemed that finally, he managed to do something right. Where Ryker, Sypher, Zephyros and the others had gone wrong, these pups had grown into strapping young males. They were his pride and joy in the very sense of the words. And yet, it seemed his time with them was growing shorter by the minute.
It had been nearly a week since Vorilye last emerged from the dens; there was too much threat out there for him, and he could not bear to meet his end away from the very heart of the territory he secured for his children. It was only a passing dream that he would manage to reclaim Acerbus, the true heart of Descai, for the pack once more. The wounds from his encounter with Goliath never fully healed, and it was likely that a blood infection was taking him down one day at a time from the inside. How could he hope to compete with a giant like Ahri and Belial's son?
With a grimace, the male heaved himself from his dirtied side, standing upright once more. He would have to face his sons eventually; there was no way he could continue this charade. They knew there was something wrong, and they were old enough to face the reality of the situation. With much of his remaining energy, the alpha male threw back his head in a haunting cry, summoning the back back to the dens so that the could convene for one last time.
