I threw a wish in the well

When the news of puppies spread through New Dawn it was all Kiara could do to keep herself from approaching the birthing den. She wanted to see Noah and Fayne's pups so bad that it almost hurt. Yet, she didn't dare get within a hundred wolf lengths of the den. Kiara remembered the time when Lucia and Kohaku were born, she remembered her own protective urges and how paranoid she had been. Fayne didn't need the extra stress, and Kiara did not want to be chased off by the new mother. So she stayed away. She stayed away from the birth and away from the den. When Fayne was ready, Kiara would be more than happy to approach. Until then, the uninfected female didn't dare even ask.

A howl broke through the air and interrupted Kiara's meal. She lifted her stained muzzle away from the fish, white ears twitching as she listened to the call. Noah was calling a meeting? Kiara took a few more bites before shaking herself to a standing position. With a quick rinse in the stream, she sprinted the short distance to where Noah's call came from.

It seemed like forever since the last time they had talked although they were once again in the same pack. Sapphire eyes looked up to the grey scarred wolf, his much larger form standing tall upon the rock. Most wolves dwarfed her, so Kiara was used to being smaller. Yet, the extra height added by the rock made Kiara feel almost uncomfortably aware of her small stature. As she approach him, Kiara swallowed her discomfort and gave a few quick greeting licks to Noah. "Congrats on your puppies being born. So what did you call for?"
