Kiara stood in the delta's presence, unaware of the knowledge that the female possessed. Kiara had heard that Amy had attacked a wolf of New Dawn, but the young mother didn't put Fayne's injury and the news together. Some part of her brain didn't want to acknowledge the obvious, especially not in front of her daughter.
Pride in her daughter and choice of name swelled as Fayne continued to compliment Lucia. The puppy was her mother's source of joy. Sapphire eyes turned to look at the carefree pup who splashed in the shallows. Kiara could almost imagine what her daughter would look like when she grew, and what a heart stopper she would be. A tiny smirk played at the female's lips as she imagioned all the troubles Lucia might get into with males. Until then, she would be her mommy's little girl.
Despite the jovial greeting of the three subordinate females, Zalen maintained a serious and heavy demeanor. It was clear to Kiara that he wasn't in the mood for any lighthearted meeting. Kiara stepped back and her blue eyes grew worried. Fayne's question only added to Kiara's anxiety and her worry grew. Zalen's words only cemented the mother's fears. What did they need to say to her? What could be so bad that it had both the pack's delta and alpha seeking her out to speak to her? The arctic mother's head bent low to whisper as heartily as she could to Lucia, Go back and play, we are just going to talk about boring grown up things. Nodding quickly, Lucia ran back to the stream with a wagging tail and a happy woof.
With Lucia at a safe distance, Kaira sat down and positioned herself so that one eye remained on her puppy while the other was focused on Fayne and Zalen. What is going on?
