Silence was never something the dappled mess of ash these days ever seemed to really hear. Between conversations with the pack, tending to her new house guest and her children and the ever constant paranoid voice in her head telling her she was not safe.....silence was rare. She begged for it, prayed for it, wished, everything she could do she tried. At her home of the small stone church by the lake there was no such thing. The Savant had no choice but to seek such solitude in other areas. That meant closer to the borders. Closer to the creature that had violated her....the father of these puppies. The thought still choked her up. No, this was not how she wanted this. Tala had wanted to have children with her mate, with the man she loved, not some monster.
But what was she supposed to do? Tala simply tried to get over the fact, to move on with her life. She was trying but memories still hurt. They hurt a little bit less when she was alone. If she could think, then she could try and think her head around the bad in this. Please, she just needed one day of peace. The last month had been absolutely crazy. It wasn't about to change either, from the looks of it.
Tala found herself wandering, her feet carrying her to places she not only felt were secure, but peaceful in the new spring. The ground was soggy, the few patches of snow left were hard and jagged in effort to remain intact. Tala gazed around with bright golden eyes as her paws found a small field like patch of taller grasses and dirt based with still intact dirt and not mud. Good enough a place as any. Though it was peculiar, a scent on the air that was familiar yet unknown. A male she did not know of these land. Well, so much for alone. "I'm sorry, I didn't know this spot was taken." Her feminine rasp was quiet as she spoke to the orange male half hidden before her.
