Moved.

Mercy looked up in amazement at Landry's question never really expecting anyone to ask that question as no one really gave a thought about it. Her lips curled up in amusement and pride as her voice turned soft with the memory,"My Ma and Pa, they worked real hard on it together. It was a bonding thing for them as newly mated. My Pa use to tell me stories about how they chased off the pack from helping just because it was their thing. Of course it was built for the pack and after it was built everyone lived there." Her lips quivered then went away as the memory faded.

Angel leaned against her mate as they walked enjoying his strong shoulder which she used as a perch for her head. She listened in to Mercy's words and felt a pang. That was at a time when their mothers and fathers had been close. Her mother had always talked about those days and how she missed them. What ever truly split the families apart was a mystery but what had split Mercy and her apart..was the death of her mother.

Raven surprised by his question looked more closely at the cabin following Landry's gaze. She had never really thought about their new home or really looked at it. She didn't know why but she felt guilty for that as if the cabin was scolding her for not paying attention to it.

Landry. "Hm, well it's beautifully built. They did a great job." He wondered if he sounded weird so he explained. "When I was fourteen, I want to be an architect. I did so much research and practiced by designing houses out of wood. Basically I was building doll houses to help me out with my architect dream and to entertain the children around my old neighbor. I donated them to charities and such."

Mercy gave him a smile,"I am surprised as I would not of expected that from you Landry but I am glad you shared it." She was slightly surprised to get a bit more insight on him as they hadn't really spoken much since he had joined. "Tell us more about yourself if you don't mind."

Draven smiled softly at her obvious pride in telling the story, he could tell by how she spoke of them she really loved her parents and wondered what that was like. He didn’t hate his mother like he did his father but he had no real love for the woman, and definitely not like she did hers. Always very observant he noticed the momentary sorrow in her expression but didn't want to embarrass her so he let it go and continued to listen to their conversation.

Adonis wrapped an arm around his mate as they walked, happy to have her so close to him. He knew that the talk of Mercy’s parents would sadden her some so he kissed the top of her head gently and rubbed her arm, he wished he knew what to do to help her move on.

Landry shrugged. "There isn't much to tell. I was a normal Southern boy had a good childhood with loving parents until my mother died. My father turned cold and didn't want anything to do with me. I fell into a depression until I got into my architecture. I was fine until my father arranged a marriage for me. I know, how old fashioned. He was stepping down from his position as Alpha and he wanted me as a candidate for it. He figured having a mate would increase my chances. I refused to marry her, but gave in and married her anyway... She died a few months after our wedding... We moved here after that, figuring we both needed a change." He gave a small smile, needing to crack a joke to laugh off his own joke of a life. "Besides, summers in Louisiana are no joke..." He blinked away the tears in his eyes and hardened his face, trying to disguise his emotions.

Draven listened silently to Landry’s story, he might not have wanted to marry the woman but he was sure it had still hurt to loose her. A few moments after the other brute had finished talking he said, “My father tried to fix me up with a woman. I think he was just trying to improve bloodlines in the pack though, love had no meaning to him.”

[♚ M I U ♚]

Raven reached over without a word and took Landry's hand but the one farther away from the others so they wouldn't see. She didn't want to embarrass him. She gave Draven a sympathetic smile the admitted out loud to everyone. "I never knew my parents really. I have always been on my own until I joined this pack. Do not feel sad for me though cause I had liked being alone surviving for just me. You learn yourself to were you can join a pack and it not change you from you."

Angel smiled at his kiss but listening to everyone she nearly opened her mouth to tell them she had loving parents..until Mercy killed her mother and her father full of grief and undecided on what to do decided to take his own life. But..she didn't say it instead she let it go and instead said,"I think we all have depressing pasts but..our future matters the most." She looked up at Adonis,"Our future is what we strive towards to better."

Mercy nodded at everyone words and especially Angels wise ones. "Angel is right, though our past is rocky our future can be bright." She winked at everyone,"Besides, I don't care what anyone says our pack has the best pancakes and its almost breakfast time."

[mabrazz]

"Oh breakfast time! Best part of the day. Let's go, I'm starving." Landry smiled then looked at Raven and squeezed her hand.

[♚ M I U ♚]

Raven smiled at Landry and picked up her pace as she was hungry. Her stomach was practically clinching in pain for the need of food. The pack had used a lot of energy fighting after all. "So who is doing what? I'll lay out the table!" She claimed hurriedly not wanting to do dishes or cook.

Mercy chuckled at Raven shaking her head before replying," Ill mix up the batter if someone wants to cook it?" She looked around at the others wondering who would take that job.

Angel looked up not minding to get the job probably no one else wanted,"I can do the dishes. I don't mind getting MY PAWS wet unlike you other babies." She teased the pack.

[mabrazz]

Landry smiled. "I can make the pancakes. I used to cook them with my mom and she taught me how to make homemade blueberry syrup..."
