I Can't

Ullric was slightly surprised when he heard Sol's words. Even though his family had been a respected pure-blood alpha family for hundreds of years, Ullric had never heard of another pack that would remain loyal to their alpha, even if their alpha had failed to protect the pack. Ever since he was held captive by the witch who captured him, Ullric had always thought that he would no longer be able to lead the pack for the rest of his life. Yet, here he was now. Standing in front of Sol, who said that the pack members had been looking for him ever since the attack.

"Until now, all the surviving pack members are still waiting for your return to guide us. Even though we found no signs of your life in our old pack ... We continue to believe that you are still alive somewhere. Alpha, you have no idea how relieved and happy we were after we found you. To us, you were the light that guided us in the darkness. Apart from you, I believe no one else can lead our pack."

"I can't."
