The young woman watched the men before her, quiet disdain on her elegant features as her soft lavender eyes turned to ice and glare at each and every male that chose to pledge for the women at all, instead of speaking with them they chose their women based on reputation, status and physical features. She found it abohorable and when her father called out it was her turn she lifted her chin and looked at them all as they called out. The upstart thin-blood called out first, looking at her with cocky smirk as the other much bigger male, Brutus laughed and called out his irritencec in the way of insulting the smaller male though the red haired beauty did little but what the encounter. It looked to her that several had only pledged for her because they thought she was pretty, or that taking her would win them the Alpha's favour though she knew that the moment she rejected him would be the time when her father would call down his rage upon the male who dared tried to touch her. It may be pack tradition, but if the girl wasn't happy then there was no reason for her to mate him. She was the first of the woman to stand, though the last to enter, and as she stepped forward she was confronted with the group of males who'd spoken for her, Brutus at the head of the group that stood just below the dais she had been standing on. [color=orchid]"What do you want Brutus."[/color] The young woman demanded, looking down at him with the lavender eyes that were so unlike the pack that they had earned her the nickname 'Flower Princess' though her hair had her called 'Flare' by some of the other, younger girls in the pack. She hadn't wanted this, and would much rather be living in human society but there wasn't a chance in Hell that she was going to get away from all of this, especially not with all of these hounds able and ready to track her down if she dared to leave. [i]'You're favour of course.' [/i]The male responded with a smirk and Valkyria promptly leaned over the rail to look at his, tucking her book beneath her arm as she used her hand to steady herself. He wouldn't have expected what she was going to do but it wouldn't be the first time either. She slammed her fist into his face; once again, breaking his nose. [color=orchid]"I already told you; I'll give it to her who deserves it."[/color] And with that she stepped away from the group and began down the path that led toward the patio where several other pack members were already sitting down and getting ready to eat. This was a tradition she had only ever watched from the library window and hated to have to participate, but it was the will of her mother and she was never one to disobey her mother - not unless it came with indirectly disobeying her father. Walking with her chin up and her shoulders back, perfect posture, she marched directly up to Nixus and barely glanced at him. He was just another filthy pig of a male, with nothing about him that was any different. Thin-blood or not he acted like them enough that it didn't matter to her who his parentage was. [color=orchid]"Pardon me."[/color] She said, attempting to pass the male on her way toward the patio, intending on getting there as quickly as possible so that she may speak with a few of the other girls before they sat down to eat - her away from them with her own parents.
