It had been too quiet, too depressing. Life had changed horribly since his mother's passing and the young man was beginning to feel vary helpless. The pack has been so quiet that he felt like he was in a constant state of being alone. His litter mates have disappeared and he just felt empty. He had visited Faite and her new pack and when there he felt alive again, but being back here he felt pain and depression. He was sure his brother would be trying to get the pack rolling again once he was healed, but it felt like it was taking forever.
Sighing the male trudged back from the borders his head slumped low as he went to check in at the alcove, hoping someone would be willing to do something with him. It didn't take the him long to get back, but as he made it to the entrance of the alcove he felt a weird feeling. He hurried for some reason slipping over to where his father and mother would have shared. Once there his heart dropped to the s wane. His father completely still, his brother curled around him, and his sister whining. His father had died and Lais' heart grew numb. He slipped away back outside the alcove and flopped to his rump. He felt so defeated. Lifting his head he let a deep and mournful howl into the sky that seemed to roll on for several minutes. Then once finished he flopped to the ground completely and hurried his face under his front paws.
