Jiva was upset. So many things went wrong. It was almost impossible to figure out what was good and what was bad anymore. First his cousin up and disappeared. He tried looking for her, but her scent was nowhere and at that time he had Palaydrian to look after. He couldn’t risk leaving too long, but then he volunteered to go on a small mission for New Dawn. He nearly got his throat cut out by a maniac. He was very unhappy she got away, he blamed himself, if he paid more attention...but that was over with. What was really on his mind was the loss of his children and that clouded all the injustices of the world.
So when he woke up to Drin missing he panicked. She normally told him where she was going and he wouldn’t be so worried, but she didn’t this time. So he was up and out of the den sniffing around for her. By the time he got to her at the border, her scent disappeared. He went out for a little, but he couldn’t find it. It was as if she disappeared. His heart raced as he looked for her always coming back to the borders, whining.
As the day progressed he ran the borders howling for her, not sure if she left him or if she was going to appear out of nowhere. He would stay at the borders tonight and if she wasn’t anywhere near he would hurry and try his best to catch a scent of her. His mind was reeling. He couldn’t help wonder if this was how Zalen felt when finding out about Titania he didn’t know, he had not been there, but he was sure that he did panic. Jiva paced the whole of the borders twice before he heard the call his mate gave, His heart leaped to his throat and he rushed to his mate. She was not too far but it took him a few minutes to run to her and he was panting heavily when she came into view.
What he saw what she had he had to do a double take. He looked at her and then at the kit in her arms and back at her; “Drin what are you doing!” He said, his voice panicky from the worry he had; “I have been worried about you all day, you didn’t tell me where you went and I thought something happened, and now you bring... is that a fox?” He asked incredulously staring at the infant in her arms. He smelled her on him, but he was so new and he wasn’t sure what to expect from the woman who just lost her children. He was feeling lost himself, and to see her with a kit, he was wary, but he did not hesitate to get close to her and touch her, he would have hugged her if not for fear of hurting the infant in her arms, and fear of what it might mean.
