Hold

A combination of the last ringings of a howl, the stirring of her mother, and the chattering of the two women had woken her from her slumber. Hearing the voice of her mother telling them to stay asleep made Theta all the more eager to hear the ongoing conversation. Something important must be going on and she was going to be involved. Yet she knew that if she showed her presence now it would likely make the adults go in to pup mode, they never talked seriously around pups. That fact frustrated her to no end, but she knew better than to act on that frustration.

Keeping her eyes closed she shifted her body to make it easier for her to hear. Hoping that the guise of sleep would disguise her true intentions. Hearing the words its’ Hannibal, he’s challenging for Erovrare made the pup aware of what was going on. She didn’t remember who Hannibal was but she knew about Erovrare. She didn’t know much about what challenging for a pack meant but she didn’t imagine it would be good. She would be sure to relate this news to her siblings later on when they were all awake, this was stuff that they needed to know and couldn’t be left in the dark about. What if they woke up and suddenly didn’t have a home to go back to? They didn’t need things sugar coated and if the adults were about to do that, she wouldn’t.
