The Last Night

He made his own den close to where his childhood den was. Close to his dad and close to the family. When he was in the pack at least. The boy did a lot of wandering but on that night the young Valentine was within Lirim’s borders. To his horror as he heard his aunt call out to his father in the night. The boy woke with a start, and uncertain took a long moment to make his way out of the den and to where his family was beginning to gather. When icy blue eyes fell on his dad and then the still form of his grandfather the boy froze. Lachlan couldn’t take a step forward, his jaw fell and his heart sunk. He didn’t know what to do. Was his grandfather really gone?
"D..d..dad?"
