Dawn arrived, and with it he woke, groggy and grumpy. Jubilee had snuck off in the middle of the night and he was pissed, yes, but he was not going to go after her. Nope. He was don’t being a babysitter, at least, for today. Large paws dug into the earth as he stretched, his head tucked between his legs as he pulled his muscles backwards, stretching the large muscles that twisted around his back and sides. A huff sounded as the male moved from the small makeshift den. He hadn’t known where to make their home, so they were tucked into the woodlands. Dawn was a beautiful time, but he preferred dusk. When he could hunt in silence and under the cover of the night.

The brawny male was better at hunting than conversing with others. He was not a social being. But that didn’t mean he wished to be alone. He hadn’t seen his sister Aurelia in a while, nor their ‘Dad’. Berwyn was cranky lately so Cadeyrn stuck far enough away from him as possible. Mom had taken off, for what, he wasn’t sure. She wasn’t the same as she used to be, she didn’t have the same spark. He hated how Sabriel’s passing had changed her.

The air was brisk, a little too cold, a biting feeling beginning in the lungs. He closed his pale pink-yellow eyes, listening to the sounds that rustled all around him. His breathing slowing as he concentrated. He was trying to pinpoint others. To see where they were in the woodlands. And maybe just maybe, he’d be social today. Who knows.
