It wasn't enough

Athena lifted her head from her paws and looked at her daughters and wife who were sleeping beside her. Normally she was able to fall asleep fairly easily once she get settled with them, but tonight her mind wouldn't let her sleep. She carefully stood and slipped out of the den as quietly as she could. Once she was several feet from the den she shook out her fur, her bracelets shaking around her forelegs before settling back down on her ankles. She glanced down at them with a sigh. She had taken them off that night with Ama only to put them back on a few days later. She felt naked without them. She hated what they stood for and didn't like the reminder of the wolf she used to be, but they felt like a part of her now. She sighed and looked around the dark mangroves, the moonlight giving her a little light to walk by. She didn't really have a reason to be out and about other than a lack of any thing else to do. She supposed it was better than laying in the den staring at the walls. Athena started wandering through the mangroves, stepping around the pools of water and over the prominent roots. For a while that's all there was, just the sounds of bugs and wildlife and her own paw steps. Then she caught someone's scent moments before hearing pawsteps. She glanced up, watching with interest for whoever it might belong to. Soon enough a gray wolf came into view and for a moment she watched him making his way along the border. She recognized him from the last meeting, but she wasn't positive on his name. She knew Leo had mentioned it, but she had so much on her mind recently that it hadn't stuck. She made her way toward him, giving a soft bark to get his attention. |
