Making a difference

Odette was starting to settle into Solstice nicely. She hadn't been as eager to leap into the ranks like she had for Valhalla. After all the effort she had made for her old pack, it had been lost when Viridiana took it from Erani. Disappointment had seeped from the female, but she had never voiced her woes to anyone from her family. Now that she was part of another pack, she wanted to make her own legacy within.
One fine morning, she was lounging in her den, eyes closed and respirations even and unlabored. She had woken up earlier than usual and began her old workout routines. The burning in her limbs had brought nostalgia, but she had worked through it all and finally collapsed after a good bath and bite to eat. However, a howl reached her ears and broke through the serenity of her morning nap. Eyes slowly opened, body rolled onto all fours, and she rose to stretch her aching frame. Without pausing to think of what Crucifix wanted, she set off in his direction.
Three minutes passed and the grand female bounded through the nearby set of forestry. Her coat gleamed, her eyes shined, and she was standing proudly with a brimming sense of confidence. Happily, she barked towards the male and began to slow her pace until she was a few feet in front of him. "Good morning, Crucifix," she greeted, permanent smile dancing across her features. "What ails you this morning?"
