[color=skyblue]"Gabe,"[/color] he replied when Claudia asked about what his nickname was. He made a high pitched howl. [color=skyblue]"That's how mommy calls me during the full moon."[/color] [color=palevioletred]"Oh, your parents bring you with them during the fullmoon?"[/color] Claudia asked in wonder, knowing that the small child will not change form yet until he was past 10 years old. Gabriel nodded, his eyes focused on the bubble that had settled onto the tip of his nose. [color=skyblue]"Daddy lets me ride his back when he runs through the forest. And mommy plays with me with her big paws."[/color] [color=palevioletred][i]Wow... Such a different childhood compared to mine and Caius',[/i][/color] she thought idly as she watched the boy fondly.

Says a lot about who he is and what his principles are,"[/color] Darric agreed, convinced that forming an alliance with the vampire would benefit the pack greatly. In a few days time, all 10 wolves would join him. He would present to them the idea. He didn't expect everyone to be in agreement with him but with Caius' help, it won't be such a difficult task to do. [color=lightgreen]"Yes, lucky that he was around,"[/color] he murmured as he wrapped his arms around Casey and led her back to their bedroom.
