As the nights grew longer and colder, she felt herself aching more and more for the companionship of that other half she'd only just found months before. She'd all but given up on looking for Aeon. There was no trace of him to be found and she didn't know what to do with that but it wasn't so important anymore, not since finding Sidon. She smiled every time she thought of his name. Though he may not be able to talk, she thought of herself as his voice but he was so much more to her. She could feel him even when he wasn't there and when he wasn't within eyesight, she felt like a part of her was missing.

She wanted to find him but she didn't want to nag him either. Maybe he had a life besides her and he wanted to get away and do his own thing. She didn't want to hold him back. She'd made up her own den close to her parents' but yet far enough to give her some privacy. Her father was protective and her mother had always been possessive over her. She wanted to live her own life and though she hated the thought of leaving them behind some day, she knew she needed to put some space between them so she could be her own wolf. She'd thought of joining a pack a few times but she had no idea where to even start.

She knew nothing of the alphas or even what it meant to be a pack wolf. Would she make friends? Would she learn how to be useful? She knew how to hunt for herself and survive on her own but how would she do in a group environment? She had no idea. Her thoughts always came back to Sidon. She wondered what he was doing right now. Was he thinking of her? Then, as if in answer, it was like she felt herself being pulled in a certain direction. She didn't even try to fight it. Without hesitation, she started loping down the path, eager to get to the end of it.

Then, there he was. She barked with joy and picked up the pace, all but racing at him. She giggled as she got closer, her tail waving like a flag behind her. "Sidon! Hey, Sidon! I found you!"
