I traveled on my mahogany paws back towards my home. I had a nice outing I met a wanderer who had been to many lands despite his age being the same as my own. I move easily up the mountains to the den in a small cave I had claimed as my own. I was old enough now to be on my own now and I had been on my own for most of my life before Alcide started giving me guidance. With MoonGlow back he had been spending more time with her and his family, I understood, my bond seemingly had dissipated but for the short time I had it with the girl of Diveen I did feel a certain pull and lonliness I did not feel before. Well it was gone now, or I was just better at ignoring it. Either way it was no longer important, I did my day to day tasks which the pack required of me.

I figure MoonGlow will retake the position of Alpha of Spirane now that she had returned fully to her health and the pack. I didn’t mind, Alcide though he had ruled the pack and kept it going was never happy there. I knew he wasn’t, he did what he had to do to keep it alive. Fought off challengers, made sure I started my training properly and set wolves on tasks to keep things moving. But it wasn’t his to take. I know of MoonGlow’s past, just word on the winds and from my foster father’s own maw. Her parents were alphas of a land in Old Moladion, it ran in her blood to lead these lands and Alcide was to be her diligent soul and lover. I was at least happy for that much, that they seemed to have a functional family and Alcide did not abandon us all when MoonGlow disappeared. Not like someone I knew.

I found the older I got the less I figured I knew about my own blood family and the less I cared to know. I learned some things from my Aunt Dusk but I found out she too had left the lands of Moladion. Was all my blood destined to leave? I think I have a cousin left there, a girl by the name of Emerald, but that is it now. I don’t care to meet her, not because I am unkind but because I found out blood doesn’t matter. She may be my blood but she would leave me just as any other would. I lost faith in someone I called brother and friend, Leonidas. Is following of my sister was almost scary, an obsession that couldn’t be controlled. He wasn’t her imprint, so why did he drive to stalk her and follow her as he did I could not fathom. I knew he would make fun of me for my imprinting on the girl Iophiel, temporary as it seemed, but I did not go crazy as he had. So what right was there to do or say such things?

I pause suddenly in my thoughts and movements spotting the silvery blue wolfess standing by the entrance of my empty cave den. Her words were not lost to me I could hear her loud and clear. A wind blew and my fur rippled gold with the change of light and the movement of my fur my forest green eyes staring at her, not sure how I felt to speak to her. I didn’t quite forgive her for everything she had done. Daenerys grew up without her mother, she left me when it was her care my own mother left me in she abandoned me. I did not know how I felt to her, but she was certainly not my mother. I loved my mother and though she left me it was not her fault. It was my father’s fault she left she had no choice their imprint bond was too much for her to ignore forever. Even if it meant abandoning us. Rhiannon followed shortly after, I am not sure what caused her to leave but maybe just missing Mom, which of course was my father’s fault too then.

I stare at her watching as she turned noticing I was there. Her voice was soft and did I catch remorse there too. I turn my head slightly examining her but silent as she requested my company. I was thankfully not all that much in a bad mood thanks to my run in with Orion, for if I was I would have requested her to leave. But as she was taking over again I figured I needed to ask her if it would be okay if the loner stayed with me, if he chose to come that was. I nodded that was all I offer her for the moment then move up to join her. I would give her the chance to speak, everyone deserved a chance.

((Ori will make her own post with him once he is done with other threads =) so this will just be Tal and MoonGlow as originally planned ^^))
