Despite her puppies and the pack, Kiara still felt very alone. Ichika had grown so small, and the white wolf didn't often get visitors. On top of that, she had no mate to help her take care of her puppies, whom she loved dearly. The young mother missed being with adult wolves, she missed their companionship and conversations. Playing with Tharin was a complete relief, yet the knowledge that he would always have to leave her was a constant weight on her mind. Tharin, unlike Alonso, was there for her but wasn't part of her pack. That no good mexican had abandoned her and had provided her with a weak puppy. Kiara knew that wasn't true, but it was easier to blame him for Anna's death.
A soft tongue caressed her forehead that brought a smile whine from the white mother. The silver male's words rang in her mind and her tail hung listlessly behind her. I have to escort you...just give me a minute to check on them. Her voice didn't shake, but it still betrayed her sadness and longing. Slowly, Kiara turned and crept towards the den. She entered the mouth and moved her way through the narrow tunnel towards the main body of the den. There, Lucia and Kohaku slept peacefully in a small pile. Beneath them was the rag doll, Lucia's mouth was wrapped around its head as if she had fallen asleep while chewing it.
The young mother backed out of her den slowly so as not to wake her sleeping children. Ready to go?
