growing pains [ASHEN MEETING]

Pale green eyes fluttered into view as Banshee coaxed the youngling from her slumber. A long yawn came forth as the small babe stretched out. She was not too pleased to be woken up but then her Mother spoke the words 'pack meeting' Verity's eyes went wide. This was her first real pack meeting. She was going to be able to see all the other Wolves of Ashen for the first time. Ver wasn't too interested in socializing with everyone but she was curious to see who they were. When Mother brought her on a few patrols she smelled all the others that had walked the borders before her. So many different scents caused her curiosity to soar.

Soon the duo were upon the meeting site. They were just beyond the shrine as a nice clearing in the white trees. They were some of the first to arrive. Ver stopped in her tracks when her Mother did. She watched Banshee regard the leadership and Verity offered a small dip of her head as well. Her eyes fell upon the Empress and then the seemingly younger girl to her side. Verity assumed that had to be the Heir or a Princess. A little smile stained the pups lips as they moved to a spot in the middle to sit down. She silently glanced to the dark male as they passed him, admiring his little horns. Ver had never seen so many Wolves with mutations before. But, her attention was quickly shifted to Seere and a little wag of her tail showed her excitement to see her teacher. She didn't know if it was appropriate to speak so the tiny pup merely gave the girl a big smile.
