Why is it that a broken heart throbs the worst? Why is it that she had grown so close to such a beastly male that she had fallen into the ultimate trap without even knowing why? He was a handsome devil, that much was for sure, and she was furious that her sister was having his pups. At least, she likely was because she had smelt Taji all over Carnifex's furs. That was what hurt the worst was knowing that he had chosen her sister over her, even if he hadn't make any decisions in the area of love. Just that they had a deal! She would be with him through the winter - in exchange for her life, of course - and she would bear him pups. Which, in truth, she had reneged on her end of the bargain but that didn't give him reason to do the same on his end. It was unfair is what it was, and she was pissed off.

So she wanders away and through the forest with her head drooped down, alternating between a look of fierce fury and then one of desolation and uncertainty. Malleah is tiny - much smaller than many wolves. A runt of her own litter but she is lovely. She uses that to her advantage or she had in the past but since she had met Carnifex well, she really just wanted him. There was no reason why. Isn't that love though? It comes softly and without warning an snatches away the things that make us ourselves. It is the sound of the joyous female that causes her to move in the direction of a rather large gathering, halting at the edge of it as she sees many faces, and she feels jealousy at them for their carefree ways.

(Eck, sucky, but wanted to get mine in!)
