She did not have to wait long.

Although he had not howled a response, it seemed the Vigilante wasted no time in finding her. The woman had remained standing still where she was, shifting the wriggling puppy in her arms to better distribute its weight. Odette was growing larger by the day, and carrying her and her two siblings, Alaine's blood-children, put a strain on the woman's already aching muscles.

Relenting, she dropped the downy white pup to the ground, where the little miss instantly began to sniff and explore.

When she heard the male approaching, a low "Uff" was uttered into the silence. Knowing instinctively what the sound meant, the older pup returned instantly to the Apothecary, and she stooped to pick the little form back up again. Emerald eyes scanned for the familiar figure that she hoped was approaching. When Vigi finally came into sight, a relieved smile curved slightly at the corners of the lady's pixie maw, although her expression still held an anxious glint. As much as he projected friendliness and availability to his subjects, Vigilante was still a King, and his word was final.

When the male spoke, he spoke warmly, and Alaine felt some of her fears slip away. It was obvious that he did not yet blame her for her disappearance. "My Lord," She replied in smooth greeting, smile growing slightly at the genuine words. Although many others in the pack did not name him so formally, that was simply the Apothecary's way. Emerald eyes dipped down to the boychild that had scuffled at his father's heels, a hint of adoration coloring her cheeks. Alaine had known of the royal litter, but it was another thing to see how well and strong the Cour des Miracles prince looked. "And you, little master," She smiled warmly at the pup. Odette, who had once again begun to wriggle in her arms, was lowered to the ground where she hide shyly behind Alaine's legs. The girl-pup was not yet old enough for adequate speech, although her nose wriggled curiously at Noah's scent.

The other two pups, not yet a month old, remained peacefully sleeping in the leather satchel - As yet, the were unseen to the King, but Alaine did not doubt that he would be able to smell their presence. "Vigilante, there are things I must tell you... Things I must explain," Although by now it was rather obvious as to what had happened. The woman had left, rather rotund, and returned slim and glowing with three young pups. Her gaze remained slightly fearful. How would the King respond when he found out who Elvira and Elijah's father was? There were many complications to be considered. Perhaps, he would allow her to keep that secret, and not ask of it. Nobody else in the pack knew - Nobody else in the world knew of Alaine's children, and who had spawned them.
