My Way Back To You

Tamsyn sat beside Rudyard's bed in the infirmary, watching him worriedly with tired eyes. She hadn't gone far from the infirmary since she and Kane got him back to the pack after he was attacked by the bear, only pushed away to eat and sleep by Gwynevere and Kane at their insistence that there was nothing she could do but wait. Physically he seemed stable, his wounds beginning to mend and kept will bandaged by their group of skilled healers and she knew that Gwynevere wouldn't let anything happen to her brother as long as she could help it, but she still worried. She always worried and she would always continue to worry about her children. It had started the day she knew that they were conceived and would likely continue until the day she died. The fact that he still hadn't woken worried her intensely and the sitting and waiting made her feel helpless.
The one and only thing that could pull her away for any length of time was one of her other children and she received just that when a howl from the border pulled her attention and she lifted her head slightly as she listened. At first she didn't recognize what she was hearing, but it suddenly clicked in her mind and her eyes flew open with a jolt of excited joy as she scrambled to her feet. Her inner doubt made her wonder if her own hope and worry might have made her imagine things, but as she raced out of the castle and across the castle grounds toward the border that worry was swept away. Her mint gaze landed on her cream and caramel daughter and the first relief she had felt in several days washed over her like a tidal wave.
"Bowen!" she called happily as she ran forward to meet her, skidding to a stop in front of her and falling back onto her haunches so that she could wrap her up in a tight embrace. "Oh Bowen, you're okay! I've been so worried about you!" For a long moment she just squeezed her daughter tight, tears collecting in her eyes. After the months had passed she had begun to accept that she may never actually see her daughter again, but just as she sat at the side of one child's sick bed another reappeared in her life. She pulled back to look at her with a wide smile on her lips, brushing her paws over Bowen's cheeks. "I'm so glad you're okay. Where have you been?"
