Little sister growing up

It was strange without Feather twittering in the background, but it was hardly the first time she had sent her companion out to search for someone, or give others direction. She knew Rhythm didn’t need a guide to Abaven, but she did need to know that the day was approaching, and it made Shaye feel better to know that she wasn’t alone. Would Valentine come with her now, or later. Would Valentine show at all? She shook her head to clear the thoughts. She had a lot of planning ahead of her. Solor had started some of it, but Shaye, bossy Alpha and older sister that she was, had already taken over most of the planning. Like inviting Valentine…

Everything would be fine. It had to, this was Vail’s big day coming up.

Vail would smile at Shaye, and Shaye couldn’t help but grin back. Vail was her everything, the one who had been beside her from the day that Vail had been born. She was watching her younger sister closely, as she shrugged off her emotions and said that today was just another day. Shaye hid another smile at her sisters dismissive reply. She doubted the woman’s emotions where that simple.

“Just another day, eh?” she said back, seating her rump on the ground, still watching her sister. She shouldn’t toy with her, but she did want her sister to admit how she was feeling. She was after all, the least likely person to judge in the whole pack. “So, you’ll be pleased to know I sent for Rhythm so we can do some rehearsals today in preparation?” she said blandly, the tone of her voice hiding the hawkish way she watched her sister.
