The nights out on the mountain were beautiful. He was out seated on a boulder and watching the stars. Maybe it was the elevation but he swore those stars hanging overhead never burned so brightly. Nature seemed to welcome them all to this wonderful place. It truly was a beautiful home. The Alaskan wasn’t yet comfortable in it in a similar way it took him a while to grow accustom to two daggers hanging from his hips, or the bow he had crafted that now hung easily from him. This place was magnificent but it wasn’t yet home. It would be. That Jaden didn’t settle well didn’t add to this. The Alpha hadn’t dug out a den yet and chose to instead sleep under the stars until the perfect place revealed itself.
But sleep wouldn’t find him this night. Stress tended to incur nightmares in his usually restful sleep and the emotion had to be expected. He was leading again, even if only a small band as of yet, and that alone was enough to bring memories of a life lost to time. Thana was constantly around too. He had only known her for small amount of time and there was so much trust and emotion for her in his obsidian body. The connection they shared reminded him of his first love often. It was about the only thing he really disliked about their time together. But it was his doing, not hers. He couldn’t blame the woman for being who she was.
So, when all this began to backup the flow of his relaxed mind, he stood and went to explore. It would be enough to occupy him. He began a slow descent from his perch on the mountain’s lower but still steep areas. The scent of his fellow leader drifted to him on the cool night air and brought an instant smile to the male’s black muzzle. He wondered idly what she might be doing out so late. No doubt she was out marking the new territory or exploring. It mattered little though, so long as she wouldn’t mind his company. The woman’s slim autumn figure came into view soon enough and he took a few jogging steps to fall nicely into step next to her. Where are you headed tonight, X’yrin?
Jaden does. Jaden speaks. Jaden thinks.
