Seline gave the occasional glance across her shoulder to see if Tjikiju would come along with her invitation or not; and to her pleasure the female seemed to be joining her. While she wanted to bolt; sprint to her son, the lady kept a rather composed and calm facial expression as well as air about her. She wasn’t quite sure how to reprimand her son for directly disobeying her orders- she had told the boy to stay where he was, in the shadows and merely observe until the fighting was over. But of course the little demon had to go tromp off on his own, getting into who knows how much trouble. The main thing was the Mother inside Seline not wanting Qui to be hurt in any manner, as he was still but a young pup. He had much growing up to do, as well as learning, until he was at the same level as his Grandfather and Mother.
The Alpha had noted the dual colourations of the older females’ irises just behind her, one gold and one silver, and had deduced silently that the silver eye was in fact useless to the female. And so she had kept the pace easy and smooth as she picked her way through the forest in a bee line to the border her son has just found his way to. It was around that moment that a sudden howl rang out from the territory just before the two females, and the affect it had on Seline was immediate. Launching herself into a sprint, she soon broke the cover of the thick forest, the mist that still lingered from earlier in the morning dampening her bright pelt with miniscule beads of moisture. Briefly shaking her jaw from side to side once, the Queen blinked her emerald irises once, twice, before focusing her gaze on her son.
If it was even remotely possible in the last few weeks since they had parted, it seemed that Quirino had grown to Seline; that his frame was larger, his muscles thicker, and even his face had changed. Then again it could simply be the Mother’s worry the lady still felt vaguely fluttering within her breast. And then she remembered why she felt that, because he had disobeyed and wandered off on his own. There had been a brief expression of delighted joy across her scarred muzzle, the alabaster and crimson lady was soon enough calming herself and smoothing out her features; allowing a blank façade to lay rest against her facial. Cocking her head lightly to the left, she was soon padding around to the opposite side of Qui, making sure to make her intent staring of his entire frame quite obvious. Bright crystalline green irises were focused on him, never pausing to observe anywhere for too long; and before the little tyke most likely knew what happened, the Queen was upon him.
Dashing in with grace and stealth only gained from years of training, even on a bad shoulder Seline was beside Qui in a flash. With equal speed and agility, her jaws shot out to shut around the boys scruff, closing her muzzle around his flesh to press her serrated canines tenderly against his fur and skin. Growling quietly, she gave her son two messages in this embrace; one, that she loved him dearly, and would protect him from any harm that ever came to him. And two, that if he ever disobeyed her orders again, her next love bite wouldn’t be so soft and careful. After the message was sure to read through loud and clear, the lady found herself pulling away, only to instantly return her touch with a brush of the tip of her dark nose, against the side of his neck. In the same moment she allowed her elongate pink tongue muscle to slither between her jaws and wash languidly across his bright crimson fur, down to the small tuft of white he wore on his chest.
Though he may have felt a bit too old to be caressed and washed the way Seline was doing now, she knew he would endure because it was his Mother doing it; and if he knew what was good for him he would begin listening to her. With a light smile then caressing her features, the Queen allowed her bright gaze to soften as she continued gazing down upon her son, before speaking quietly to him, for his ears only. “Welcome home little prince. You should not have gone off on your own the way you did, but I’m glad you’re home now. Welcome to the new Satanican lands.” As her last sentence slipped past her dark lips, Seline raised her muzzle to gesture to the vast forest that surrounded the pair, before she then remembered her hopefully-still-following companion, Tjikiju. Turning her gaze where the older girl would hopefully show up, the Mother once again bent to her son to whisper quietly to him, giving him a heads up about the other wolf.
“Love, one of the new members of the family has hopefully come along with me, she should be just behind me..” the Alpha trailed off quietly as she kept her intense gaze watching the place she knew Tjikiju should be coming from, her still wounded shoulder throbbing absently, though she did not take note of it.
