I'll dance amongst the stars

Zalen was in quite a pleasant mood, still high off the romp he and Adonia had had yesterday. Getting to know his pack-sister was fun in itself, but the feral electricity that had also sparked between them just added to the pleasure he felt from it. Though he missed Titania dearly, at the same time, he realized that he felt somewhat betrayed by her, and therefore, it was easier for him to forgive her absence, and harden his heart against her. Playing with Adonia the previous day had only made him realize that he would be okay without Titania.
The Alpha was sitting outside the communal den, his eyes adjusting to the near darkness as dusk settled into night. He was in his Optime form, finally having shifted again after that fateful day of finding the birthing den. Currently, he was stretched out on the mound he frequented, listening to the mosquitoes buzzing around him, when he heard Sky’s call. He lifted his head immediately, and then was up and off.
Zalen was beginning to notice a shift in himself; he was becoming very aware of all the mated females in New Dawn, and even the mated ones. Sky, being un-mated and physically sound, save for her healed injuries, was a possibility to him as a child bearer. Though he would not mention these things to her unless she gave him a reason to, it made her call seem all the more urgent.
It did not take him long to reach the borders, but he met there shocked him; it was Shawchert, Titania’s father, though it took the Alpha a moment to recognize him; he looked so much… older. Shaw had gone missing several moon’s ago, and it had been learned that Salsola had enslaved and sold him off making any chance of finding him an impossibility. But here he stood beside the beautiful Sky, and had he been any other male, Zalen might have seen him as a threat. Instead, he strode up to the man, who’s nose was still pierced with that disgusting symbol of slavery, Shawchert! Friend, what has become of you? He asked with true concern.
