Mikael looked at his daughter talk to Hunter, and he felt a pang of sadness enter his heart, but he knew that one day she might leave the pack, and it may be that the day was coming sooner rather than later. "Maybe they will come back to visit us every now and again Em... as long as Hunter is fine with something like that."

Hunter looked at Dove before looking at Jonah and took in a deep breath. "Well, I can't stop you from leaving the pack if you wish to live on your own. Since you and Jonah aren't causing problems for the pack, I will leave that decision up to you... and Jonah, of course." He looked back at Daria, who was acting as a pillow for a napping Shade and Sonoma.

"Whatever you think is best, I will be in full support of you. And yes, it wouldn't hurt to have another talk with him..." He watched Jonah and Dove walk out of the Alpha's den. "Or maybe we should wait a bit longer before we do."

Mikael looked at his mate with compassion after she voiced her concerns about Dove, and when she stopped talking he licked her to shoo away the building stress. "Oh Em, I know that you worry for them, but you raised them incredibly well, in spite of anything Lilac may have ever done before you all came here. I feel very confident that they will be able to make it once they leave, but in the meantime, we can still take care of them."

Hunter looked at Dove and Jonah as they walked away, and his eyes caught Star and Evan, who no doubt were planning on talking to him about the same thing, however seeing Dove and Jonah just break away from a conversation with him discouraged them, so he simply returned and cared for Shade and Sonoma until they worked up the courage to talk to him.

Jonah walked over and sat down next to Dove in the sun, resting his head on her as he enjoyed the warmth of the rays. "Are you still worried about Evan possibly hurting Star my sweet? I know you have some concern for her since she's your sister, but I've known Evan for some time now, and he wouldn't simply abuse someone he cared about, especially if he wanted her to become his mate."

"Shade?" He tilted his head to really think about that idea. "You sure your parents would be fine with that? I know he'll eventually grow up and strike it on his own, but if you wanted to have pups..." He let the sentence trail off becuase it was obvious where it was going. "In any case, would Dove really be okay with you taking her younger brother into your pack? That could cause further strife with her if you go through with it."

(I did. Oops.)

"Well then, since we are going to wait some time before we talk to Hunter about it, why don't we figure out the pack and how we're going to run it?" Evan didn't like the ideas of making the rules and abiding by them, but it meant making Star happy, then he would have to shove his pride and make concessions for her.

"Shade may make a good addition to our pack, but before we leave to start out on our own we need to smooth things over with your sister. If you don't then those bad feelings could start a war between our pack and hers in the future." He looked down at his paws, oddly sullen about the possibility of having to look over his back for Dove's sister.

Jonah wanted to speak up when Dove and Star talked about the possibility of starting a pack together, but before he could find a way into the coversation Dove was already lying down in her parent's den. Jonah walked to the entrance of the den and noticed that neither of her parents were inside, so he walked in and lied down next to her, snuggling with her to raise her spirits a bit. "Maybe it wasn't supposed to happen for you and your sister to begin a pack together, but don't let it discourage you from the possibility of making things right with her." He said, licking her behind the ears after he finished talking.

Evan simply looked at the two with a blank face before turning back to Star. "Maybe... maybe it's not to be Star." He was not enjoying the words that were coming out of his mouth, however he knew that it was a very real possibility now that their most recent conversation fell through. "Why don't we go somewhere and let you and your sister and think this over before it possibly escalates?" Evan was trying to avoid a fight between his love and her sister, because that could possibly mean a fight between him and Jonah, since he was practically her mate at this point.
