Chapter 2
Some would say Decius had turned his back on his Home World, old friends, even part of his family. It depends on your point of view if this applies to this situation. Take a surgeon who removes an arm or a leg to save the life of one, who if nothing was done like they would surely die. In his case, in this scenario 100 plus thousands were given a fresh start.
Millions, perhaps billions could and probably would perish if nothing else was ever done to solve the problem. The comparison of a thief or beggar who wants what another has because they themselves have done nothing to better their lot in life may apply.
The command to proceed to the camp already in-place by the Southern troops sent by Xenon was not met with much entusiasm. The last line... ‘where you all may nurish there’ was well received however. Many captives would be drained but the vast majority would live and be able to sustain his clan for months. That was one primary reason for how many had been saved. He could not provide for millions.
Most of the clan were fairly young, young for their kind meant 400 years-old or less. His own family consisted of 5 wives, seven daughters and one son, all purebloods. Xenon was the Alpha of his children. She was his heir, his hope for the future and both knew that. One day, he would ... would ... arrange so that Xenon took a mate and would rule in his stead, while he ... he ... must prepare for that change.
