Born to live and let go

The voices outside of the den were what finally woke her up. Her eyes blinked open and it took her a moment to register what was going on. The memories from the day before quickly pieced themselves together and her head popped up to look out into the open. She could smell the scents of her children outside, spotting their collective paws along the ground just past the large, darkly colored paws of Elias. He was still here. She was just as relieved as she was exasperated with herself for thinking that way in the first place. Of course he was. He wouldn't just be in their pack without the permission of the alpha for any old reason. He was here to be with her. With them. He wouldn't just risk that without really wanting this. These were the thoughts that swirled in her head as she pulled herself to her paws and stepped out into the sunlight. Seeing all three of her children together again was surreal enough as it was, but to see them together with Elias... it was something that she had never dreamed would happen. She looked between Kane, Miach, and Daelos, assessing their expressions. Kane's forced indifference, Miach's hopefulness, Daelos' uncertain smile. She leaned into Elias' side for a moment, glancing up at him with a small smile. They were together. She could only hope that they could continue to be this way. "Good morning, darlings," she said as she stepped past Elias for a moment to nuzzle Miach and Kane's cheeks since she hadn't seen Miach in a while and had only briefly seen Kane previously. She reached over and gave Daelos a lick on her cheek as well, giving her daughter a grateful smile. Of all of the children this whole thing was the least expected by her and she was happy that Daelos had been so quick to adapt. She turned to look at Elias again while she tried to ignore the pull that begged for her to go back to her side. "Now that we're all together... Where do we go from here?" She wasn't sure if Elias had any kind of plan already thought out, but she had agreed to go where ever he went so she only needed to know which direction they were headed. |
