Bria, hope you don't mind if Lucia calls Tharin dad. I can change it if you want. [WC:402 || Points: 4]
Once again her days had turned peaceful and the week had passed by quickly for the young mother. Loosing her only son had been a devastating blow to the tiny female, but she had remained strong for the sake of her remaining puppy. Lucia, who was very young, had adapted well to her new home and to the strange wolves that inhabited the pack lands. She was completely used to the luperci and had returned to her playful self. There were even times when the tiny pup would wrestle with the older puppies of New Dawn.
Lucia had been completely weaned, preferring meat over her mother's milk. Besides her obvious increase in size, the only other change that Kiara could pick out was that here eyes had started to change into a deeper blue to match her mother's sapphire orbs. Other than being incredibly small compared to the luperci puppies, Lucia was growing up healthy and happy with her new pack. The nine-week old puppy had also come to associate Tharin as her father, a mistake that Kiara didn't have the heart to fix.
"Mommy, we go up?" Kiara watched as her daughter struggled to climb over the mountainous terrain. "Are you sure you want to go up? It looks really tough." Lucia shook her head eagerly and exclaimed, "I want go up!" The white mother shook her head and followed closely behind her daughter who continued to climb the mountain. The mother-daughter pair climbed for a little bit until a familiar, broken howl sounded through the land. Kiara's ears stood alert and Lucia responded with her own weak howl. Kiara's tail wagged ferociously and she surged forward, grabbing Lucia by the scruff as she passed the puppy.
The terrain was a little difficult, especially with Lucia in her jaws, but the lithe female was able to make her way to the boarder in a relatively short amount of time. She reached the boarder just as Vesper introduced herself to Tharin. Kiara paused long enough to set Lucia down who enthusiastically ran up to Tharin, jumping at him and shouting, "Daddy, I climb!" Kiara, forgoing her greeting to Tharin, charged at Vesper with a giant grin and wagging tail "Vesper!" She showered the coywolf with licks and jovial whines sounded from her open maw. Once Lucia had calmed down enough to notice the strange luperci at the boarder, she ducked behind Tharin.
