Across the Barren Dunes, my love

When she heard that the young pup said that they knew nothing, her felt like it would explode out of her chest. A look of sadness went over her, but she paid no heed as the young dame walked over to the pup and stood over him, looking intimidating despite her somewhat large stature. She could sense that the young pup had been through a lot, but she had too and was willing to tell the young one about her life. She could smell the death that came off of the boy's pelt, and a sad expression came over her as she sat down in front of the him, head hung low and eyes closed.

"My pack had banished me a year ago. I was standing up for the things I believed in since my alpha, my father, had been defeated and killed as a new alpha had taken his place. My mother fought the alpha, to try and stay strong and lead on the pack, but she got killed as well. I know death is never easy for us, believe me I had seen a lot of my friends and family die. But, even though I am young, I believe that loved ones are never truly gone. They live on inside of you and in your heart. Your mother loves you still and will always watch over and protect you from where her spirit lives on, which is in you. I may not be your mother, but, I would love to help her and raise you so that you could be the strong and confident wolf that she knows you will be," Tallulah meant every word she spoke, soon opening her eyes and meeting the pup's gaze. "I know you do not trust me or my mate, that is understandable. But, I want you to grow up and live your life, for it would break my heart to see you die when I had done nothing to help you. I have given you food, and the Gods have blessed you with water. What is it that I can do to prove that you will be safe with me and my mate?"
