we had it all

Deathbelle walked slowly over the red rocks that made up Ashen’s temporary home. She could feel the call of change and new the pack would not reside here much longer. This was the birthplace of many fond and difficult memories. Lilac gaze swept over the curving corridor of the stone resembling a river. This was where she had said her vows to her late husband, and also where she’d met the woman to help heal her broken heart.

Archon’s loss was easier to deal with, knowing that she could never have him back hurt her heart but she was persevering. She thought about him often, but saying goodbye was becoming easier. Leaving Iolaire wasn’t quite as difficult, but her care of the Empress was what helped her to be able to accept what was thrown at her. She wasn’t saying goodbye to Io like she was forced to give up her husband. The pair would remain friends, and knowing the woman was there to lean on was a comfort in itself.

Her children were growing like weeds, they were going to be yearlings before she knew it. It seemed like just yesterday they were tiny little beans at her side and Archon was on her other beaming down at the miracle the two of them created. So much had happened since that precious moment. She was a very different wolf from when she’d given birth. A soft sigh trickled from dark lips as she moved forward through the early bits of night. Her paws were restless this evening and she made her way on a patrol to alleviate the nervous energy.
