Stone Circle I'm recovered enough to feel hatred towards the one responsible for all this

Valette was pretty heartbroken with the death of Keoni. Even though her daughter had returned mute from her travels and they hadn't had a verbal conversation in a while, Valette still missed having Keoni around. She tried to pick up some tasks regarding border control, but she doubted that this was something that was inflicted by someone else. Valette suspected this since her lips were swollen. So it seemed a poisoning, perhaps it could have been another wolf that poisoned her. Valette didn't wish to be so suspicious.

The mother lifted her head from her paws when she heard a chuff. Valette pushed herself to her feet and when she peeked from her den she saw Stark. Her eyes welled up. She wasn't sure why it happened but just the thought that Keoni would never be around anymore hurt her. Keoni and Nikai brought her together with Steady, her death made her feel more detached from Steady. "She died," she sniffled as she climbed from her den. She couldn't help herself and snuggled herself against Stark and buried her face in his plush check.
