As she stood there excitedly another wolf appeared, greeting the lady like her Daddy greeted Mommy. She stilled for a moment, pondering over the exchange between them till the male asked who she was. But the lady beat her to the punch line so she just stood there proudly, chest out, ears forward and head high. She was happy who she was, who her family was and nothing could change that. Then Sorrel was by her side, she smiled like a goof and gave him a nuzzle to the cheek like she was the older male do to the lady. She concluded it must be a simple greeting to loved ones. But as soon as Sorrel opened his mouth she wanted to take it back.
Her face grew sour, lips pouting out and ears going back. Sorrel was gonna ruin all the fun! She wasn't in trouble, at least no one had said she was so far. And he wasn't the one to say if she was or not! The white lady addressed them both and Cerise gave a happy yip and bounce. She had another Aunt like Novella!? That was wonderful! "What's an Alpha? What's a pack? Where will we explore?! Oh I wanna see all the animals! Can we go hunting? Or gather plants for mommy?" Her words tumbled out in a rush of pure delight. Turning to Sorrel she grinned at him before playfully nipping his ear and running to hide behind Dhiren's shoulder.
