growing pains [ASHEN MEETING]

The older wolf has been settling into pack life with her children, the concept still foreign to her. Eulogy has kept mostly to herself and it all seems like a dream. She is afraid that, one day, she will wake up and everything will be gone. But day after day, she has awoken to find everything and everyone still here and she is slowly beginning to trust that life is good.

A call rings through the evening air and the old wolf lifts her head from her paws from where she had been napping. Her arthritic hips had begged her to rest, and the woman had answered. With some effort she stands, giving her coat a shake and smoothing out any rough spots before slowly and carefully making her way to the meeting area.

She finds there are already several wolves gathered and spots her son and some of his family. Moving to join them, the older woman vows silently to herself to do better and to get to know her packmate… since they are strangers to her. A gentle smile is offered to those already gathered as she gingerly takes a seat, turning her attention to the Empress while waiting for the rest of her children to appear.
