Might Have To Tell Me Again

He smiled and nodded in agreement when she offered to walk with him along the wall, easily falling into step beside her. He was fine with a comfortable silence while they both tried to think of something to say. Luckily, Serenity spoke first, but caught him off guard by bringing up Azariah. His ears perked as he looked at her with surprise, his silver eyes catching her lavender gaze for a moment. His ears flicked and he gave her a sad smile when she asked what had happened to his other children's mother and his gaze shifted to look at the ground ahead of them again. "I honestly wish I knew," he replied with a sigh. That was a question he had been wondering for nearly a year now and he was no closer to finding an answer.
"The pack used to reside in Boreas," he explained, giving her a bit of backstory so she could know the context of what happened. While he told the story he would occasionally glance toward her, but otherwise just kept his attention ahead of them. "Last winter we made the move to come down here and moved into the castle. Ezra and Lillith's litter was only a few months old at the time. Their mother insisted that there was some things she wanted to go further north to get before she moved to Auster permanently. I didn't like that she would be left alone, but with so many children to look after I couldn't stay behind with her and send the children ahead with the pack on their own. I wasn't happy about it, but I agreed under the condition that she would come join us in Auster in a week or two. One of our daughters had always been glued to her hip and she begged to let her stay with their mother to keep her company on her travels."
A deep frown pulled across his lips. "I think I regret that the most... Letting my daughter stay behind too. I should have brought her with me..." He gave a little shake of his head and pressed on, "They never showed up. I searched all around where our old pack lands were in Boreas and around much of the surrounding lands, but I couldn't find any trace of her or our daughter. It was like they just... vanished. I still don't know if she left us on purpose or if something happened to them."
