She'd made her decision. After two nights of sleeping in safety and feeling welcome, of socializing with Deuce and the others in the pack, it was decided. The kids didn't want to leave and neither did she, so by the third morning's light, she sought out Zalen once more. It was near the den site that she called for him, howling in hopes he'd come quickly. Her little ones were playing nearby, actually playing for once instead of training and sparring. A welcome change to their travelling ways, indeed.
"Lena! Cody! Come here." Both pups turned to look towards their mother, then came running. They toppled over eachother as they came to a stop beside her, licking at her chin as she bent to groom their fur. "He'll be here soon. Behave and mind your manners." She cooed, giving them both a nip on the ears before sitting up and wrapping her tail around them. They sat pretty, Lena leaning against her mother's side happily.
Today was the day they accepted their place in the pack called New Dawn. This was the day they made it official. This was the morning of their new life and none of them could wait to sleep in the den with the rest of the pack and hunt with them and grow to be accepted as a part of the family. Today was their own New Dawn.
