I sleepily open my eyes, ears flickering at the call that's as familiar as my own. Coza. I lift my head instantly, brown eyes gleaming to life as I blink a few times in the dim lighting of our den. He must have gone out early today to check the borders. He calls for a pack meeting, I can feel it in the urgency of his call and in the tremor brought on by our imprint bond. Wanting to be near him more than anything, I rise to my feet, ignoring the cramps and aches of age catching up with me as I stretch out slowly, listening to the popping of joints and feeling the reluctance of muscle to stretch out as it once did so fluidly. Once I'm up, I search for the children. Most of them have moved out of the den with their first year since birth, wanting to be more independent, but still I tend to know where they are most of the time. I bark a few times, sure that they will hear none the less. Amoxtli and Zeltzin are usually close by with Dexter being the one that likes to wander off. Of course, I've noticed all three of my children's scents by the borders as of late so I know all have been traveling out of the confines of Taviora. It does worry me but I have faith in our children to be strong and level minded enough to make it out in the world. Zeltzin has been scarcest of all, her scent mingling with that of a boy as of late and makes me wonder if she's getting in deeper than I know. Is this just a springing friendship or could it be more serious? Should I be concerned? Amoxtli is the strong quiet one and I have no doubt that he'll grow up to be a great warrior like his father. I also know he likes to help out the weak just like Coza, a trait that brings great pride to my heart. I have heard rumors of a yearling painted as my son helping out loners in the free lands and this brings a smile to my lips. Dexter though has been more stealthy as of late. I do wonder when his training with Zeteri will begin. Maybe then I'll be better at tracking where he is. I know he's excited though I hardly wonder what good he thinks stalking prey and being silent will do. He doesn't really seem to like hunting all that much, at least not in the way he acts around me. Still, he is peculiar in all things and I do worry about him more so than the others. He is quiet, almost too quiet, like he's plotting in his mind at all times. I know he was out of Taviora when the earthquakes came and I hear a cavern opened up somewhere to the west. I wonder if he might have been there because I smelled fresh earth on his coat when he returned that day. I also smelled a female. Trying to rid my tired mind of these thoughts, I push forward out of the den, loping easily toward the place where my imprint is calling. I can feel his soul embracing mine before I even see him and when I do finally catch sight of him, my heart rejoices as it always does in his presence. I bark in happy greeting, slowing down to rub against his side as I nuzzle his cheek fondly. Giving him the brightest smile, I then turn my eyes on Sen and Suomi, the other two present so far. I have met Sen once before, another healer and a great one, I hear. I nod respectfully in his direction. Suomi I have never met before but she has the bright eyes of a young wolf with great potential. My tail wags in her direction, brown eyes softening like those of a natural mother. I take a seat beside Coza, giving him the spotlight as alpha of these pack lands. Not too soon after, I hear the smaller foot falls of a yearling coming into the clearing. Before my gaze even lands on him, I know that it is my son Dexter making his presence known. He gives a respectful nod to Coza and I before seating himself closer to Suomi. He always seems to be more comfortable with those closer to his own age. His eyes barely stray to the other two wolves though I can practically see the wheels in his mind turning. Like I said, almost too quiet. "Father, mother." His greeting. Soft yet to the point like always. |
