Need a bigger home

Ochi nuzzled under Kotori’s chin, her nice sliding along it and bringing a small smile to his features.  Looking in her face of black and white, and her mismatched colored eyes, he saw again how patience could pay off.  He had waited so long for the perfect mate and so far Ochi has been that.  Everything Kotori has wanted, he would have.

Kotori licked her forehead in a slow single motion, “I agree that more promising wolves, those who are already skilled would be good additions.”  Kotori’s goals were still to have a well-respected pack and children that would leave a great mark on the world.  He wanted the pack name of Valta to have weight to it.  He talked a big game and it shouldn’t just be hot air.  

“I said I’d never keep a wolf in my pack that couldn’t earn its keep.  The first thing is to remind everything of that.  Easier to gain stronger wolves when they see the pack is already strong.”
