I woke up after a couple of hours. Chris was facing me and was cuddled into my body. Dar'ke was against her back resting peacefully, his arm was our pillow. I check the time...Chit I am running late.
I slip from the bed without waking them. Chris rolls over and snuggles into Dar'kes chest. I felt a stab of jealousy. I was definitely enjoying my time at night with Chris alone. I sigh as I slip from the room.
It was supper time I had to head down to check on the hall. As I walked in that direction I felt as if I was being watched. I knew this presence well...
I stopped far away from pillar just in case I needed to fight. "Alexi...you shouldn't be here" I said to her calmly.
I heard Alexi Chitter "That is unlike you to warn me Sooni. I was right you were on my side at the trial! Any threats to your family, you would have rushed in an tried to Kill me as soon as you noticed my presence. Its nice to see you Sooni..." Alexi said to me, her voice sounded sad an lonely.
Chris had warned me after the trial that this encounter may come about. I sigh an lean up against the wall keeping an eye on the pillar. If Alexi was here to talk, I might as well try an get information from her.
"Alexi you should be more careful!" I scolded her, faining concern for her. Before adding "I know why you are here, I can't give you what you want unfortunately..." I say with a sigh.
"Sooni be logical about this...its just one individual. I mean if you feel guilty you can make sure to raise her current pups for her. Are you really willing to throw the lives of your pups, as well as Maini and Tanomi away!?! For what an Ooman?" Alexi said to me bitterly.
"Alexi it is two individuals she is bearing right now...It is my responsibility as the Matriarch to make sure that 'all' pups survive! That was one of the first lessons you drilled into my skull After Krysis passed away. Or have you forgotten that you were the one who taught me how to be a Matriarch?" I chatter at her angrily.
Alexi pauses an Chitters amused by that statement "...I did do that didn't I? You still respect me Sooni, I am surprised you still have my lessons close to your heart. I wish circumstances were different. I wish I had listened to you an Vil'Lai about waiting for an Ooman female. I see that they have a couple of females over at Singhs compound. Admittedly, I was wrong in my calculations. You know of WarAxes plan to take over Yautja prime? His plan is to eliminate all the top clans, including ours! I couldn't sacrifice my pups Sooni...You understand me right?" Alexi chittered to me softly.
Maybe there was hope for her after all?
"So you choose to trade our lives? Alexi I know you are not foolish but you should know that there are counter measures in place." I say to her, I could smell her blood. So I knew she was digging her claws into her arms.
"Sooni I didn't really have a choice. When our clan started to lose honor after we were stabilize as a clan of our own. Something had to be done! We couldn't let our clan fall any further! Krysis wanted peace to raise the pups...But that would have caused our families to starve an suffer! If I hadn't introduced Nomi to WarAxe you would have never been a Matriarch! Sooni in so many ways you are so much better then Krysis ever was!" Alexi admitted to me.
I felt my blood boil! Just how far does this betrayal go! I was glad that I was recording this. I needed to keep a cool head cause if I engaged Alexi in battle now I could lose my pup.
I sighed an took a deep breath "...Alexi just because I am good at doesn't mean I wanted the position. An your right after Krysis died they started doing more missions for the council to keep the clan status high. However I need to counter you on one point. Since Chris has been here our clan has rose to a much higher status then ever before. We could possibly rival the Emperors an the council forces in a few years. If I go by your logic on power why not wait? Why do something so extreme now?" I asked her.
