Golden Glade And then there was another

Emory was filled with pride at the continuous mention of her nieces and nephews, they truly were the best things to her, despite her never actually speaking with them. She truly loved them with all her heart, Alder had created the life she secretly always dreamed of, but was too afraid to go after herself. Her absense allowed him to make it happen, and although it stung, she knew it was true. 

She shook her head at the mention of other pups, she had no idea there was more. "I have yet to meet them, are they Ch - Alders?" It was going to be hard getting use to his new name, especially since she somewhat hated the fact that he did change it. It felt like he had been throwing away his past, including herself. It was always Emory and Charley, but now they were seperate people, and it hurt so much to think of it like that.
