Loneliness

Sitting on her balcony, Clove was enjoying the warm, golden glow of the setting sun. Her gaze was set on the expanse of ocean before her, the salty breeze gently swaying her fur. The melody of crashing waves echoed in the distance, seeming to lull her into a state of tranquility. But, inside of her mind, there was restless contemplation. Even with the bustling life of the castle and the appearance of new wolves from other packs, Clove had been feeling lonely. Maybe it was her age, but she was restless, wanting stimulation more often than not. She was a socialite, loving attention and casual conversation. But that was hard to come across, with how busy everyone had been. Ember was gone too, having traveled to Hemlock to help with training. Her other brothers and sisters… they were hardly around. She was starting to understand why Talyssa left to travel the world. It was probably more exciting than sitting at home.

With a sigh, Clove raises a paw and rests her cheek on it, closing her eyes and losing herself in the rhythm of the waves. For a second, Akito popped up in her mind, but quickly vanished. He was starting to seem like a distant memory too.
