Okay. It was nothing major, so she sat up and waited for River. When he entered the den, she greeted him softly.

nows shes getting the point he thought as he nuzzled and nipped her playfully " So, I was thinking you and I go on a Spring trip. Just the two of us. Somewhere you can raise your little ones before we have to head back. Hows that sound?" he slowly licked her head, then her back. Thinking how wonderful it would be to be alone for the first time in six years. His eyes looked at her like she was the most beautiful being in the world.

"Sounds great," Mayhem replies. She sits back down, booping his snoot.

River gave her a wolfy grin before playfully attacking her and nipped her side " Lets see how you fight against your Alpha, dear. "

Mayhem jumped out of the way with a whine. "I,, I cant-" Her audits drooped. "I dont want to hurt you."

" Hurt me? Mayhem darling. You cant hurt me. I have so much fur." River said upset now that he even tried it. foolish me he thought as he sat down on his haunches. his ears back

Mayhem walked out of the den, turning back. "I'll be back." She whimpered, and with that, ran.

River left the den as well and just layed in the snow, not carry the snow getting stuck onto his fur. Did I make the right choice? he thought as he watched everyone from a distance.

Mayhem ran, and ran, she needed to be alone. Away from anyone she could hurt. She froze, having been going up a mountain trail.

It was a familiar voice, one that was laced with vemon.

Tailbite.

I have to keep an eye on her River thought in his mind She can fend for herself.... she will be fine. Said another part of his mind. But he got up and followed her scent, making sure that he was far enough away so he would just be ready in case soemthing happened to her. And soon, he did. But with someone or soemthing else. What is she doing? he thought as he just watched.
