Erani

She could see the questions in his eyes. She recalled seeing this male before, now that she thought about it. He was at the challenge, off to the edge. An observer. However, she didn?t answer any of the unspoken questions, instead waiting for him to speak. Which he did, after a moment, apologizing first, then introducing himself. ?You meant no harm to my pack, so you are forgiven. Mistakes happen.? The apology was accepted easily. He was young, and young wolves had a tendency to learn through mistakes. She was just glad she was the one to teach the mistake, rather than a harsh wolf in another pack.

Her second question seemed to have caught the male by surprise, and she did suppose it was rather a bold thing for a stranger to ask such a possibly personal question. However, Jinxx chose to share his distress. The word hit like a physical blow to her heart. Unbidden, the memory of seeing her mother lying torn and bloody on the ground where she had fallen fighting for her life and that of a new litter of pups came back to her, fresh as the day it had transpired. It brought a powerful surge of maternal feeling toward the young male. A child who had lost his mother, and she acted on instinct, stepping forward and pressing her side to his, a shoulder to lean on.

?I know what it is like to lose ones mother. I lost mine when I was young.? Her velvet tones held a great sadness as she spoke, eyes also cast to the ground momentarily. ?I lost my entire pack in one day, though I am lucky that my brother that I thought dead with my pack is alive and with me.? She smiled at this, then looked at the male. Despite having not even gotten to know the male, and not knowing where he came from, she felt compelled to offer him some small comfort. ?My home is open to those who need one, so long as they are honorable and work hard. My pack is a family, bound by love and loyalty. We help the injured heal, whether the injury is physical or not. I offer you a place among the wolves of Valhalla, to stay forever, or long enough to find your feet again.? Her tones where gentle, not persuasive or coercive. Merely a wolf offering comfort and solace to someone in need.
