Recently it seemed like some god on high was angry with Kiara. Shiloh had died and Sarian had gone missing. Amy had reappeared in her life just so that she could request help from Ichika, form Kiara. Neela had gotten angry with Kiara for siding with Amy and Noah had effectively destroyed their friendship. Kiara was pregnant but the father of her puppies was gone. The white wolf sat in the dark confines of her den. Sapphire eyes stared at nothing while her mind worked through the events of the past three weeks. Almost everything had fallen apart it seemed and it left the white women with a crushing sadness. Life in the arctic wasn't nearly as harsh as life in the luperci world and Kiara wondered what it was that she had been seeking all those months ago when she first traveled to Nova Scotia.
Slow, almost inaudible steps approached the entrance to Kiara's den. White ears pricked and her nose worked to identify the visiter. The only thing Kiara could smell was fresh blood and deer. However, it was enough to get her attention. Kiara scrambled to her feet and moved as quickly as she could through the underground passage until she was blinded by daylight. Kiara paused and squinted as her eyes adjusted to the bright lights. The wolf's twitching black nose told her that not only was there fresh meat, but Neela was also there. Kiara's fluffy tail wagged back and forth as a toothy grin spread across her face. Neela wasn't mad at her anymore.
"Neela! I'm so glad to see you!" Once her eyes had adjusted Kiara trotted up to the collie-hybrid and showered her muzzle with licks. When her greeting was done Kaira sat down next to Neela and eyed the leg. "What's with the leg?" The delicious smell of fresh meat made the hungry mother drool. Hunting was getting difficult for her and she had to eat enough for four. No matter how much Kiara ate, it never seemed to be enough. The enticing food before her only added to the she-wolf's hunger.
