It was nice to be home even if it was temporary. Zeltzin promised that day with to her prince in the Grotto that she would wander with him and stay with him until he took his throne back and she was going to support him the entire way. Zeltzin never expected the rise of emotions in the horomonal over flow of the aftermath though. She wasn’t showing strongly just yet, but she knew. She only sought fit to tell two wolves of what she suspected was going on and those wolves were only her parents. Her father of course was delighted though perhaps somewhere there was some undertone of disappointment she was not mates with Lucero she at the very least was dedicated to Lu and he seemed so with her. He was still recovering from his loss of his home though. His parents and some of his siblings have still not slipped from the shadows and Zeltzin wasn’t entirely sure where any of them have gone. She worried for them and for Lucero but right now she had other things to worry about too and that being the slow growing of her sides and her hunger that seemed to never sate.

She was always on the prowl for something somewhere. She had gone out and hunted herself down a turkey and lulled into a sleep only to be woken by her father who offered her a slight snack from his own morning kill. It had been a few days ago but the bone chilling howl had reminded her of the day at Asteraia when Lucero’s mother, Rhae had been challenged. Her worry had gone up tenfold. Her father was also so gentle and passive but she knew he had fought before and by the time night settled she had heard his call. He had won though when she went to visit him the next day he was riddled in wounds and didn’t seem to walk on his back left leg at all, but he was in good spirits and of course told her to worry about herself and her pups.

So she did. She ate a few herbs her mother said were good for expectant females, caught herself a hare and now walked through Taviora with he small prize. To anyone who didn’t know her well the might walk up to her thinking she had some thick fluff to anyone else she might be starting to show. She hoped soon Lucero would come back from wherever he was going he needed to know, there was only one wolf that it could be and she wasn’t going to keep them a secret from him. She was nervous though she didn’t want to go wandering about the free lands in the hopes she would run into him. She found him at the grotto the first time but where he went more was a complete mystery to her. So for now she would stay in her birth home and enjoy the chilly day laying on a rock and wondering just where her Lucero went. Perhaps someone familiar or knew would drop by either way she was hoping for a relaxing day.
