He would be lying if he said he didn't miss her. As his mother buried her muzzle into his neck, he protectively and lovingly curled his neck over hers as he gently hugged her. His heart ached after not seeing her for so long, and he had always kicked himself for not sticking with her instead of going to his sire's pack. Elias had done nothing for him. But his mother had done everything for him, and he never forgot that. "I missed you too, mother. A lot." If there was anyone he could be honest with besides his brother, it was her. She was his whole world, after all. Or at least a very big part of it. His own tail wagged with happiness just as hers did, and he thought it a miracle of fate that they had run into each other. Of course, he could boast that he was the best tracker in the world and had tracked her down on his own, but he wouldn't and couldn't lie to her.
Her question brought him to think about things. What had happened up until now? Honestly, he felt his life was just a blur. He went through the motions day in and day out, helping Ty and hunting, mostly. It was almost...robotic. Predictable, even. He pulled away for a moment as he gently licked her muzzle. "Honestly, I...haven't done much. I joined my f-" He cut himself off. He wasn't sure if he considered Elias a true father...as far as he was concerned, Elias was just his sire. "I joined Elias' pack for a little while, but...he abandoned it. I wasn't even sure that I wanted to be there, anyway. He wasn't a father any more than he had been before, so." He shrugged. He didn't particularly care, anyway.
"Other than that, not much I guess..." Thinking about it now, he felt like he didn't have any real purpose. No mate. No kids. No pack. Nothing. All he really did was stick around his brother and hunt. "I have become a pretty good hunter. I think I can track just about anything now," He chuckled as he thought about it. "What about you, mother?" Now that he was closer to her, he could tell she didn't quite look the same as before. But he didn't want to press the issue. |
