Anu often wondered what made the small wolf that walked beside her tick. He was very much unlike the other two boys and she had never had a pup stick to her so closely. Honestly, the mother couldn’t have been happier to have her son at her side even though she knew that he needed to be encouraged to venture off. She did, she told him again and again with soft gentle nudges that he could go explore or go play with his brothers and yet he clung to her. She told herself she would’t stop trying to make the boy branch out, but his company was certainly becoming an enjoyed addition to her existence.
They walked together in contented silence and when they came close to the house, she wondered if he would want a nap or to walk to the lake with her. Maybe they would find the other boys and the three of them could play a game and let the mother rest. The ideas rolled through her head, and before she knew it a familiar voice was calling her name. She and the pup beside her looked up to see to the Commander standing just beyond the door.
Savina. Anu called back with a smile of her own. She wondered what brought her out during a dreary day, but of course it could have been anything. Alder faltered in his step, and slowed slightly so that he trailed behind her.
