This was it. She was leaving Fiori, where she had only stayed for a couple seasons, and branching off to a new empire...conveniently in the same territory as her old family home. First Sonticus, then Borealis, now Myriad. It seemed this gulley held too many memories for her liking. Oh, the irony. But she knew it had been done with good intent. After all, it was better than her friend challenging for leadership and overthrowing a peaceful pack like what had happened to her former alpha when they had first joined. It would have been more exciting, more eventful, more dramatic, though that was the chaotic side of her shining through. She had to remain righteous in her mind, and that wasn't easy when the grey male appeared alongside her friend (or whatever they were right now) and an unfamiliar alabaster female. Jealously sparked within her as her lips twitched in displeasure at the sight. Who was she? Did Riv know her? Did he like her?
She had already arrived at the gulley before the rest, as she had answered her brother's call when the pack had finally died. It had lived its final breath and shrivelled away. He had carried on their mother's work for as long as he could. Though he was still a loner, it felt like he was no longer a part of her family, and that left her with pretty much no-one. That was alright, she didn't care. She had felt so much emotion, overwhelmed with grief and anger and depression and everything in between that she no longer felt anything at all. She was numb, void of any emotions. Her life was always tossed into some trauma that it seemed like normal now. She just accepted it.
She stood tall beside the russet male, giving into the urge to nuzzle into his neck. Everything seemed complicated these days, even their relationship. Though regardless of what they had been through and what they felt for each other, she was certain of one thing - that she was proud of him.
