Welcome home…

Those were words she’d never heard before. Ciara had often dreamed of having a home while she was alone in the wild, searching for her own kind. Now that dream had come true, and the young wolfess could scarcely believe it. She had met these two older males, and already felt a sense of kinship with them. She knew that they would protect her, and provide for her, and she hoped to someday prove that she could do the same for them.

Hearing the happiness in his voice, the yearling let out a happy whine and tipped her head up, scuffling forward in her crouched position to poke her nose affectionately at the fur around the male’s neck. She moved her head, snuffing through the male’s fur and nuzzling lightly until delivering a carefully placed lick across his cheek. Some may see her as over-affectionate, but it had been so long since she’d seen another wolf that she really couldn’t help it.

After the display of affection, she raised herself from her crouching position, somehow sensing that once the initial, submissive greeting was over the wolf wouldn’t expect her to keep her belly in the mud. She glanced over the white-and-black furred male with a warm, still shy gaze.

“It’s nice to meet you, Epsilon,” she said, her voice finally confident. “Maybe someday I could hunt with you.”
