Alone in a crowded room

Midnight offered a smile to the women she was sensible in her offer, after all at this moment they could not know for sure what sort of environment might await them nor could even Midnight say for sure Wether or not the limb would heal back to its former perfection she was not as young as she used to be and though she could still track game and other wolves as well if not better then the rest, maybe it was time to consider a change of duty, could she learn the herbs and techniques necessary to become a healer or den mother she already had some knowledge but there was no point giving a definite answer at this stage after all it wouldn't be forever she was going home back the rouges back to the cove.
She gave a nod to the dames half question, and offered an indulgent smile to the girl, ?why yes, your father saved my life when I was still young and unused to the ideas of pack,? midnight gaze returned to the older dame as she continued, speaking words which hit the dame like a truck. Gone how could they be gone they had been there right there in the cove. Her eyes became fearful what had happened had it really collapsed so fast? she had thought they could protect themselves, was this her fault? she had not wanted to bother gargoyle before she left partially wanting to leave him with his new family partially fearing he would forbid her risky and in hindsight ill planed foray. How could it be so? how could it me true. Gargoyle had been her chief for as long as she had acknowledged an alpha how could the brute just be gone, there had to be some mistake. Her jaw was hanging somewhat open confusion and shock momentarily robbing her of her voice. Her eyes slid off the alpha as Odettes small voice confirmed it, and she couldn't doubt the girls words, suspicious as she may be of an adults account she could not bring herself to doubt the pup.
?so they are gone,? her voice came out somewhat hollow, ?all of them...? she let it hang for a moment willing herself to believe the words. Her eyes had slid to the ground and she frowned, ?how could that many wolves just vanish?? she took a deep breath then allowed it to hiss out from between her teeth. This did not change to much she would still have to stay with the Vallhallan pack until she was healed would still need to travel with them when they went for protection. And she would still need to return home. With a slight shake of her head she lifted he gaze once more, ?I am sorry I was not aware, I... I will have to go there myself in time, though I do not doubt your words I would like to see for myself see if I can find some sign or...? she shock her head again.
It did occur to her that if something had gone wrong if the pack truly was gone destroyed in someway as the women?s words would seem to suggest then she and the pup, Odette where the last members of the era left. Still it did not occur to her for even a moment to challenge for the girl, and injury was far from her mind in the decision. It was clear that the pup loved the alphas company she called her mother after all, coercion could not be ruled out but the pup seemed happy, and midnight was not bitter or twisted enough to try and ruin that for the sake of keeping a fallen pack together. When she went back she might offer the girl the option of accompanying her but she would not force it.
?I was not expecting this news.?
