I'm Always Losing To Win

Preparations were in full swing for the puppies that would be arriving any day now. With Juniper and Irilyth's help she had been taking supplements and herbs for a couple of weeks now to hopefully be able to feed these pups once Scylla gave birth to them and she had been fussing over their den to prepare a space and a bed for them over the last couple of days. Even though her mother was there to help and give her advice–and to calm her worries–she still couldn't help but obsess over every little detail. There was a very real possibility that this was her only chance to be a mother so she wanted to get it right. However, just because she was preparing to he a parent with Saracyn that didn't mean that she could let her duties as an alpha fall to the wayside so when Haydée's companion found her and alerted her to her friend's arrival she put her work aside to start making her way across the island so she wouldn't keep Haydée waiting.

She was nearing the borders when her friend's howl reached her ears and a few moments later the small woman came into view. She smiled as she came over to greet her, her tail wagging gently behind her at the unexpected but very welcome surprise. "Haydée! Welcome!" she said warmly as she leaned down to lightly press her nose to the Leader's cheek. "Please, come in," she added before turning to walk with Haydée toward the lake where the pack's general gathering area was located. "What brings you all the way up to Boreas, my friend?" Even though she was always glad to see her fellow alpha, it was quite a journey between their two packs so it felt unlikely that she'd make that trip just to say hello.
