Where was Liberty? The male had awoken this morning to find that his daughter had no been curled up at his back like she normally was. Immediately a fear of dread had settled over him, much the sad as he had felt when the flood had come though and he had found Liberty struggling on her own. Immediately he had risen himself, one of the first days he had actually left the den since his mates death. But there would be no sitting at home and waiting for her. Hours were spent looking, a few wolves had tried to speak to him but the male had simply carried on. He moved at a brisk trot, ears up and eyes sweeping back and forth in an almost panicked expression. Had she left the packlands? She knew it wasn't safe out there! Friction had become borderline over protective of his daughter since his mates death. Spending most of his time at home trying to sleep but still he had always wanted her to tell him where she was going before she went anywhere and how long she was gone. Normally she had complied but today? She had slipped out without a word and that terrified him. What if she was hurt? How could he find her if he didn't know where she was? He had searched Valhalla and after a short time had found Liberty's trail heading from Valhalla and towards the north. There was no point tracking her out there, it had been a few hours sine she had left and her scent was already almost non existent in here never mind out there were so many other wolves scents would intercept hers. So now all he could do was wait for her to return, pray to whatever god thought it was funny to drown two if his mates that she would come back. And so he did. He paced the entire length of the Valhallrn board along the north side, eyes turned towards the mountains that towered far to the north. He had always loved the mountains. Having grown up in the shadow of them the male had always felt a particular pull towards them once again. Maybe one day he could take Liberty to see them. He didn't know how long he had been patrolling before a familiar and heart warming howl reached him. Liberty was back! A grin split his features, so overjoyed that he didn't notice the fatigue or the fear that laced her voice. Immediately he was losing towards her, ears tipped forward and tail high. It wasn't until he saw his daughters form collapsed against the ground his pace went from exuberant to concerned, stride lengthening and ears pinning to his skull. "Liberty? Liberty!" he called, coming to a swift halt at her side. "What happened?!?" He was almost as out of breath as she way. Head tipped back immediately, stronger more urgent call lifting to howl specifically for the alpha's. They needed to be here for this. Had something happened to his daughter that they would need to know? Even if they didn't need to know he felt more comfortable if they were there. They would get to the bottom of this. He leaned his skull down, nose brushing against her shoulder easily. They would talk about her leaving pack lands without tell him later, for now he was just glad she was home... |
