Sele knew exactly what it was like to have love and lost. That seemed to be the extent of her life. She was nothing but bad luck and she knew it. But what she didn't know was how to change it. Her recent losses were her older son and her mate. She had no idea what happened to the boy but simply assumed that he had died. She had been unable to find his body to know for sure what had happened. All she could figure was that his body had been burned as others had. As for her mate she knew for certain he was dead. There was nothing to compare to waking in a dead lover's arms. That had certainly been a moment that would forever be ingrained upon her mind. And to not be able to tell anyone about it because the love was forbidden. That only made things worse. To feel guilty about not even being able to tell others of his demise and just had to wait until someone else discovered him. She still had his pup though. The young child grew to look more and more like his father every single day. And it made her heart ache to see that face staring up at her.
Right now she was only watching the back bounce along in front of her. She allowed for Juju to romp around and enjoy himself while she kept a slow pace behind him. As long as he was within eyesight she didn't worry too much. She had grown comfortable in the lands of Anathema and was slowly starting to let the pup get farther and farther away from her. She would really hate when he got to be fully independent, the boy already on his way there day by day, and no longer needed her at all. She had no idea what she would do then. Right now her life revolved around her young son. He was all that she had left since Demi didn't need her around as she had used to. Right now Juju was the only one to need her.
The pup yipped excitedly when he found another soul. The sound pulled Sele from her thoughts and she move quickly on her hands, for she was unable to stand upright and walk on her feet, to go see what had Juju so excited. Meanwhile Juju had trotted right on up to the woman to stare eagerly up at her. His little tail wagged as he watched her and paws danced in excitement. Clearly he thought he had found someone else that wanted to join the pack.
"Juju, what is...?" She called out to the pup but cut off once she seen the other female. "Oh sorry, is he bothering you. Come on over here Juju." She apologized to the female then spoke to her son. Sele dropped her feet to the ground then fell to sit on her knees. Juju came over to to climb on Selene's lap and sit, looking eager still. "You have reached the borders of Anathema, were you looking to join?" Her voice was soft and quiet as she spoke. As she had gotten older she had become much more subdued from the eager pup that she used to be. Of course that change had started on a tragic day that she still blamed all the following consequences upon herself.
