Early afternoon by Deer Lake, she’s in her optime form.

The Omega was pregnant, and there was no denying it now. The woman was experiencing frequent morning sickness, a horrendous appetite for quail eggs of all things, and fighting off an incessant need to find an abandoned rabbit warren or badger’s den. She’d lose herself for a few minutes during the day, snooping in the hillocks for the perfect nook and then the fae would start clawing blindly at the earth, completely ignoring the dirt and rubble falling into her hair and fur. When reality finally snapped back into her head, she’d find herself elbows deep in a makeshift burrow, pleasantly surprised and yet horrified at her work. The instinct for denning was almost uncontrollable and soon enough, her pack mates would notice the various unfinished dig sites dotting the countryside that were perfumed with her scent.

Drin was aware she couldn’t keep this secret up for long, but as much as she wanted to tell her mate, something was holding her back...New Dawn’s decision to end someone’s life. News as exciting and jubilant as her’s paled in comparison to the overall mood in the pack at the moment, and she was afraid her joy would be squelched by the darkness overwhelming her home. How could anyone be elated at a time like this? It was foolish, but the woman was embarrassed to be so ecstatic when her brothers and sisters were hurting. As a true selfless soul, the woman was sacrificing her own happiness for her family, not realizing that cheering up was truly what everyone needed at the moment and her news would be celebrated not resented.

Cicadas became her background music as the woman waded into the coolness of the lake. The sun’s heat was already permeating the lush surroundings with the heavy dampness of humidity. Drin was rubbing soaproot into her soiled fur from an early morning dig in an attempt to erase the grit and grime of her labors and return her golden fur to its original shining glory. Of course, Jiva would simply think she had gotten a little over zealous in her gardening this morning, but that wouldn’t have explained the halos of dirt ringing her face. She prayed to Luna he didn’t follow her out there this morning or he would’ve seen her stopping in Glen Eyrie, rump high in the air, as she mimicked a mole in the mud. Her little Eden would have to wait until later, for now that she was clean and bathed, the angel just wanted to swim and enjoy the sun.

Palaydrian swam around, dipping under now and then as her long lilac streaked hair snaked behind her. She loved the feel of the water filtering through her guard hairs and caressing her pale skin underneath. Her mind drifted over the past few months, so much change and heartache, but the bad couldn’t snuff out all the things she held dear to her heart. Drin had been accepted into a family of exceptional wolves, the woman had gained a confidence she had never had before when it came to fighting and self defense, the young Soul had found true love in her mate, and now she would bear his children. A radiant smile spread across her dark lips as she rose out of the water and sauntered up the sandy beach, a gloved hand running over the small baby bump rising on her cream hued belly. No denying it, in a few months time, Palaydrian would be called “mother”.

She sat down on the lake’s shore and propped herself up on elbows, allowing her damp body to soak up rays of sunshine and striving to maintain a positive attitude as the pack’s Omega should.
