out of the darkness & into the sun

He would follow her to the ends of the earth and back, still they had had to be away from each other through this. He missed her, his other half. He was incomplete without her next to him, an aching had moved into his heart that was usually occupied by his beloved. He had arrived in the land of Alacritis with one goal in mind, to return to his Natalya. Tracking her had taken longer than he had thought, and while he had managed to find and follow some weak scents of the rest of his family he had not found any of his wife.
That was until he had drawn close to the limits of a pack, the scent boarder burning in his nose. Underneath it all he could smell her. A newer scent of hers could be found leaving the pack lands a bit further down the boarder and he followed it eagerly. He was not against the idea of a pack but he would rather not call for anyone till he was sure she was in there. The rain chilled him all the way through and the wind pulling at his soaked pelt irritated him. He could only hope that wherever his wife was that she was safe from the elements.
It became harder to track her the more time he spent in the rain, her scent becoming diluted, near impossible to follow. He gave a sigh and lifted his head, russet eyes scanning the horizon in desperation. He would continue on this way and hope that the trail became easier to follow again or that he found her. The rain was beginning to lighten up, a fact he was thankful for. A lake came into view, shimmering into life upon the horizon, hundreds of yellow glowing lights flickering in and out existence.
He could see a figure laying before the lake, covered in shadows and wet from the rain but he would know her anywhere. He moved off so as to be downwind from her, he knew her smell was better than his own and while she would hear his approach he hoped she would not know it to be him. A small smile spread across his face at the site of her. As he approached he noticed, hardly even there, droplets running down her face. ?Now my lady, what could it be that troubles one as fair as you?? His question rang clear across the night, the clouds parting for a moment to reveal a full moon smiling down upon the world below as lovers reunited.
