This is the end of it then, I always like a nice, conclusive ending.

The words his new friend spoke warmed him and he smiled as they were spoken, he was growing even more tired by the moment. His eyelids were growing heavy and he could have nodded off right then. As Hadley departed he sank deeper into the cushions of the best, reveling in their warmth and comfort as they clumped around him. Coeus could see himself loving this place, just from the simple comfort that was provided around him. Leaning back, his head fell into the pillows. He stared into the simple ceiling just reveling in what he had been through. It was marvelous, wonderful, he had a new life to live and it was all right before him.

He could be anything he wanted to be, he could ride his house with companions and hunt side by side his pack mates. A smile grew on his muzzle as he rolled over to hug a pillow to his chest. As his muscles relaxed and he imagined himself in his most comfortable form, his height and size began to melt away. Bones snapped back into place and his body shortened considerably. Coeus could feel his hands turning back into his calloused and familiar paws. The last parts of his body warped back to proper size and he flicked the blankets over himself, and curled into a tight ball. Warmth seeped into his tired body, as his eyes closed in the darkness.

Coeus would dream of his past, of his mother, and of Becca. But most of all, he would dream of Casa de Cavalieri, his packmates and the life that lay ahead of him. He would be a warrior, a scholar, and a coward all in the same way as if he were decided which path that was best for him. Perhaps he would smile in his sleep, or twitch as he chased the dreams. But he knew when he woke up, he would be different, he would be ready and determined to succeed.
