"bane i didn't have choice, Vladd was relentless i had no choice besides we couldn't have known that you'll get the nerve to show your face around here again." Anubis said with slight anger in his voice.
Anubis didn't forgive Bane for leaving, because when their dad died his last request was to see his sons again and Anubis has to see the pain in his eyes when Bane wasn't there.
Slavka snarled at anubis. she didn't understasnd why anubis was suddenly so angry at Bane. she snorted at his face and walked away. she heard bane say to his brother "father's death could have been while i was trapped by man. that was about 3 years ago. slavka saved my life. the men were gonna kill me and take my pelt."
"you left 4 years ago! on your own and father wanted to see you for the last time but he never got that." he paused "I watched father cry into his death! you had stayed father wouldn't have died like that."
their father was a proud man. he lead his pack with honor and was a good father. he had a worrier heart, Anubis took to heart when some one of that caliber left the land of the living with so little dignaty with so little pride.
"his last words were "i miss you Bane." i thought you should know that."
Slavka gets tired of hearing the alpha argue with her mate. so she walked back to the two of em' and stepped between them.
"anubis! let it go, what happened in the past cannot be helped. fighting over it will only make thing worse! be gratefull you still have your brother! he almost died, twice!"
Anubis left with out saying a word. he was kind of a guy that dosen't get really emotional over things but his father was always an touchy subject to him he loved his father, and seeing the way he died was a very tramatic for him.
slavka asked bane why he hadn't been there with his father. he tells her he hadn't known his father was dying, or he would have been there. he walks over to the log where varra hides and picks her up. slavka follows him as he walks to a large bush and curls up to sleep.
later slavka watches him get up and walk to his brother. she evsdrops.
"Anubis, i'm terribly sorry i wasn't there to be with father when he died. i would have come running as fast as i can had i been near enough to hear any howls you might have cried. i'm sorry brother, i really am."
Anubis sighed, "Dad died from a weapon of man he died slowly and painfully all he wanted was to see you for one last time. father wepted like new born pup because he wont be able to see you again. and you know how he was, you know what kind of man he was. seeing him die like that made a part of me die with him."
their was a uncomfortable sighlace.
"Tell me why did you leave that pack 4 years ago?"
slavka was very curious now. bane had never told her why he left his pack.
"why did you leave your fathers pack?" she asked him.
Bane replied, "i never meant to. i got lost trying to outrun a rabid bear. the bear fell off a cliff, but i couldn't find my way home. i tried! i swear i tried!"
