we survive, it's what we do [ABAVEN SPRING MEETING]

Twig watched as more gathered, though she was sure there would be more to appear soon. Theory’s words wavered at first but Twig couldn’t blame her. She had spent a lot of time with the woman since taking on the dual responsibility for the boys. Autumn felt fully the wound of her loss. They had to keep going though, the world didn’t stop even for a wolf as beloved as their former alpha.

It felt good knowing they could return to Abaven’s ancestral home, or at least closer now than they had been on the island. She didn’t have a clue where would be better than the lands the pack had always been. When Theory spoke of more responsibility though, ”I’m here for you Theory. Use me where you have most need.” She had no grand idea of a high tier rank, but she was very much willing to take on more responsibility for her adopted family.
