The alpha emerged from the den almost casually. She smiled to him, leaping down from her spot on top to land beside him with an easy 'thrump' of paws. Good morning, Zalen. She greeted, touching her nose to his fur politely. I have something I'd like to show you. A secret project I've been working on, as a gift to the pack. She all but purred, playing her best skills into this, to sell it for him.
She moved away with a slight bounce in her step, tail waving behind her. If you'll follow me, it's not far from here. I know your first thoughts won't be good ones, but hear me out once we get there. I think you'll approve of my idea. She grinned, the flecks of white on her muzzle showing just a bit more from it as forked tongue lolled out.
Should the dark alpha follow her, the pace would be a brisk jog into the territory. Lean legs and toned build would carry the aging mother easily and fluidly through the brush, skipping over rocks and roots as she went. Now, I found this by absolute chance. It's surprisingly well hidden for something of its size and design- I doubt it'd be noticeable even in the winter months, when all the leaves are gone. She chattered excitedly, hoping he'd approve. But its hidden location makes it the perfect place for what I've turned it into. Private and secluded, a perfect safe zone for shifting and nonshifting canines alike.
