She spun on her heels as he called out her name, ears perked at the faintly familiar tone of voice. Allegro had been missing for so long. She'd barely been a yearling then. Had she even been declared the successor when he'd disappeared? The fire, the volcano, the harsh winter... it all blended together. The young alpha lifted her head and yipped excitedly, overjoyed to see a familiar face return. Tempo had just left them, still believing he was cursed to bring his family pain and hardship. It felt good to see someone else return. Theo loped closer to him and extended her muzzle in a greeting if he wished to touch her. "Allegro! It's been so long. What happened?" she asked, her brow furrowed. Perhaps he'd have a good story to tell - she hoped. "Regardless, I'm so happy you're home." Theo bit her tongue, thinking briefly about Novel. Weren't they siblings? Abaven's network of family wolves twisted and turned throughout the pack. Most wolves were linked one way or another. But Novel had also disappeared. One disaster too many had sent her fleeing from the territory, as much as she'd tried to hold her close in the wake of the volcano. Would Allegro stay? Please stay.
