Titania comes to visit! Somewhere at the northern borders during daylight. She is in Optime. Though she is pregnant it is not outwardly visible to anyone who didn't know her before. 700+ (I'm wordy tonight, future posts will be more like 3-4)
The change of seasons brought more changes upon Nova Scotia that far surpassed a difference in the weather and length of days. Most of the changes were good, even if they caused some anxiety to those who did not like change. Shortly before the end of summer the young alphess of New Dawn had finally become a mature wolfess, coming into her first season, and she had tasted heaven when her strong wolfish instincts finally let her join fully with the love of her life. Her heart and soul had been dedicated to Zalen for months, and now her body was as well. For a while the alphas were caught in a lover's haze, sneaking away from their duties to enjoy a moonlight tryst, or running off to frolic and make love in the summer sun. But finally those days had come to an end, and soon enough the couple had to catch up on their duties as leaders of New Dawn.
So what else had changed besides the seasons and her virginity? Well, a few new packs had moved into the north. She had caught wind of it. At first it had been just rumor but more and more reports eventually confirmed that New Dawn had new neighbors. The packs had not settled close enough to warrant an immediate response nor a territory scuffle; they were still days away, but it was important to know if these new packs were friend or foe, or something else altogether. Did they have anything to do with each other? Were they wolves, or one of those hybrid-mutt packs? Coyotes? Oh, hopefully not coyotes. She hoped she wouldn't catch any weird 'Yote disease from them...
A smile cracked her muzzle and she chuckled at the thought. Truthfully she knew coyotes didn't carry any weird diseases that weren't normal for the rest of Luperci kind too, but it was a funny thought. She really didn't hate coyotes as much as the jesting thought would have made it seem, but she didn't think they had any business near a wolf pack, either. If it had been some sort of coyote clan that formed here she probably would have been told. Either way, she wasn't too concerned about it.
Most of her journey had been spent in her quadruped form, finding this the easiest and fastest mode of transportation. She usually tired less easily this way, but she did stop to transform into Optime when she sensed that she was close. Now she walked lightly on two legs towards the lands that were rumored to be called Vinatta, feeling unusually hungry and far more tired than she expected by this point. The pudge on her stomach might have made her worry that she was getting out of shape – after all, she and Zalen had lived quite lavishly for over a week while she was in heat – but she knew that wasn't exactly the problem. No, she wasn't “getting out of shape.” But yes, it did have to do with that week spent with Zalen... the Alphess of New Dawn was with child.
She realized it just a few days ago. All the facts had been there, it had just taken some thinking about to be sure. The shift in mood, the change in her energy, and her outrageous appetite... if that wasn't enough, then just admitting how much... fun she and Zalen had been having was enough for any adult to make the logical conclusion.
She could see Vinatta now, the scent in the area made it clear that the land ahead was now claimed. A smile spread across her muzzle as she gazed out at the newly formed packlands, though her thoughts were on her future children. How many were there? What would they look like? Were there boys and girls? ...and a million other thoughts. She almost didn't notice it when she was at the very edge of the marked borders, but when she finally snapped back into reality she halted. Looking around, she didn't see anyone here at the pack's northern border, so following the typical protocol that New Dawn respected, she turned her nose to the sky and let a beckoning howl sing.
