Cereza nodded her head once, and led Kye through the wooded area to a stone path. Once on the path, she led him to the village. The village itself, appeared like any other village. There was a fountain in the center of the village, with a statue of a Fire Dire Wolf upon the top of the fountain....the statue appeared to look like Cereza...though it was not her...it was her great-great-grandmother.
Cereza stopped in the center, looking at the statue, then looked at Kye. "That's my great-great-grandmother." She said, then folded her arms. "I inherited her name, as well as her swords." Her ears then flicked, and she turned around, as the other members of the pack began to peer out their windows and doors at the new comer. Cereza turned around, and smiled softly. "It's okay...he's not a threat."

Kye looked to the statue in awe, "Very beautiful......" He spoke quietly before dispersing the flame his body carried. His large coat was wide open, revealing a scarred, yet slightly muscular chest, the scar from having his rib cage opened up by hellhounds in the past. "I wish for no harm to be done........" He spoke aloud.

At that moment, Cys stepped out of the rather large house on the top of the hill, closest to the mountain. Upon seeing Cereza and Kye at the fountain, it was almost like she vanished from where she was standing, and reappeared standing beside Cereza. She smiled warmly, as she placed her hand on Kye's shoulder. "This wolf is apart of the pack now." She said in a kind, yet firm tone. After she said this, the rest of the pack emerged from their homes.

Kye looked cautiously around the area, not knowing what to say.

Cys walked towards the pack, holding her head high, as an Alpha should.
Cereza walked over to Kye, and placed her hand on his shoulder. "You don't have to say anything to them if you don't want to." She whispered. "My mother accepted you into the pack, and now they know you can be trusted. Just relax."

Kye nodded, "Alright.......its different than what I'm used to......normally, I haven't really......been around anyone other than my family.......and those who apparently like to hunt hellhounds.........." He looked to the pack and knelt down to a knee, holding his arm across his chest. "I am Kye Mystic, thank you for accepting me.........." He then stood back up.

Cys turned around, and nodded her head to Kye. "You are family here now, Kye." She said, as she walked towards Kye and Cereza. "For the time being, you may stay with myself and Cereza. If you choose to build a house of your own, that is fine too."

Kye gives her a nod, "Alright, I may decide to build one......though I've been a vagabond of sorts for the past few years to tell the truth......as long as it isn't the swamps of Valveria, I'm happy to tell the truth, how hellhounds could sleep in that muck, I will never know....." His blade, Salamandra, gave out a slight, red glow.

"You may do as you wish." Cys said, then walked back to the large house.
Cereza looked at Kye. "Basically what she means by that, is you can do what you want within reason." She whispered. She turned to walk follow her mother, then turned around and walked back to Kye. "Oh...if you choose to take a 'mate'...you have to have the Alpha's approval." She whispered.

Kye whispered back, "Well, I have my eye on gal in particular, but I'm concerned your mother and the one whom I hold eyes for won't agree with my choice........." He turned his head for a moment, "So far, I don't know if she likes me or not........"

"Oh?" Cereza raised her brow, and folded her arms. "Have you tried asking her?" She asked, with a coy smile on her white furred face.

Kye moved his mouth to her ear, then whispered, "Well then, how would you react if I told you that I like you?"

Cereza moved her mouth to Kye's ear and whispered softly. "I had a feeling that you did, and it would be welcomed."

Kye gave a faint smile, "I see.....I'm glad you accept my feelings.......the major reason I had my biology changed was so that I could help you....and so that you could return......I find your pride very.......moving.......you're very beautiful.....and.....your scent is........overwhelming.....but that may be due to my new blood.....so must I speak with your mother about this tonight?"

Cereza smiled, as her ears flicked, then moved forward. "You probably should...but I should go with you...just in case she goes into 'mom' mode." She chuckled softly.

Kye nodded, "Alright then......" He took her hand, and led her into their house to find her mother, and upon locating her, he spoke, "Miss, I have a topic I'd like to discuss with you......"

Cys turned around, noting that Kye was holding her daughter's hand. Her ears perked forward upon hearing Kye say 'miss'. "Oh my boy, I haven't been a 'miss' in a very long time. You can just call me Cys, or Alpha Cousland." She told him. She then folded her arms. "So what is it that you want to discuss?" She asked.

Kye looks to Cereza, then back to her and spoke, "Well Cys, I was going to discuss whom I wished to be with.......or rather.....whom I want to ask to be my mate......"

Cys raised her brow slightly. "You want my daughter to be your mate?" She said, then looked at Cereza. "Is this what you want, Cereza?"
Cereza nodded her head. "I do, Mother." She replied.
Cys sighed, as she tilted her head...thinking to herself..then she tilted her head to the other side...looking at Kye..then back to Cereza. "Alright then." She finally said after almost a minute. "I approve of this match." She added. "I believe any pups you may have will be strong, and new blood is welcomed to the pack." She said, then looked at Kye, with a serious expression upon her white furred face. "But I warn you now, Kye. Cereza is my only daughter, if you betray her in anyway, dead or alive, I will find you, and your blood will color my pelt. Understand?"
"Mother?!" Cereza growled lowly.

Kye nodded, "Understood, I'll even lend you my Salamandra to make me bleed if I were to betray her......I would never do so, and I thank you for your blessing." He turned to Cereza, a smile across his face, "She's just a protective mother, and I want you to know, I would never betray you......." He leaned in and gave Cereza a kiss on the forehead.

Cereza smiled softly, then looked at her mother. "Thank you mother." She said, then hugged her mother.
Cys embraced Cereza's hug, and rested her hand on her daughter's head. "I look forward to the day that you have pups of your own, my daughter." She whispered softly. "The pack will be overjoyed." She then looked at Kye. "You both may stay here. I would like my gift to you, to be a house, befitting the next Alphas."

Kye nodded, "Much appreciated......I'm very glad to hear that......I haven't had a real home to go back to in years.........your daughter gave me the chance to start a different life, than the rode I was traveling on..........." he smiled warmly toward Cereza, "And maybe once we have pups, I could perhaps invite a family member of mine or two here.....just to visit......their trustworthy, and open minded.....worry not......."

Cys smiled. "Why should I worry?" She asked...not expecting an answer. "Once your house is built, I will declare you both the next Alpha's, then I can finally retire, peacefully. You both will lead the pack. Of course you may come to me for any advice, should you need it."
Cereza smiled, then bowed her head slightly. "Thank you, Mother." She said.
"No. Thank you, Daughter." Cys said, then walked away.
Cereza turned to Kye, smiling softly. "Come, we can stay in my quarters until our home is built."

Kye chuckled and followed Cereza, "Alright then." He thought of all the mistakes he'd made in the past, and decided he would call his brother before constructing a home of his own.

Cereza took Kye's hand in her's and led him to her quarters. She opened the door; which opened into what appeared to be a den of sorts. There was a door to their right- which was open, and led to the bedroom- and a door to their left- which led to the washroom. "I suppose we'll be here for some time." She said. "It doesn't take the pack long to build a house; but a house fit for an Alpha, takes a few months at least." She explained, as she walked into the den. "Welcome home." She greeted Kye with a smile, as her ears moved forward.
