I'm So Sorry

He had been dragging his daughter all over creation and for what? There was still no sign of his beloved, no sign of Elli or his other two daughters. Honestly? It broke his heart. It made his heart and mind ache. Why? Why had they disappeared? What had he done to deserve this? What had Ritselli done to deserve this? He would set the little one down, watching as she curled up, shivering in a ball. She was cold... hungry... exhausted. There was nowhere he could have left her safe to hunt... and he was killing her by dragging her out here with him. Suka would give a low whine, licking the child's ear. His daughter already was out of it... he couldn't keep this up. He needed to make a choice... and that choice was what was killing him.

There was already a pack near here. He could smell their borders that he lingered outside of, and Ritsuka would slowly breathe in, feeling his body trembling some. He didn't want to think about what would happen to his child if he kept this up. He would need to leave her behind, somewhere safe, and continue on alone. He just prayed that the pack he lingered near was of a light nature. So, picking his daughter up he would allow himself to travel to the borders, worrying more and more that his journey could have already compromised Ritselli her life.

Once there the male curled around his daughter, letting out a soft sigh. He would raise his head, letting out a howl for the alpha. 'Please,' He thought. 'Take her in... please.'
