Nova Peak Strange thing this love

A summoning howl echoed across the sky -- but it was simply right outside his doorstep. Blinking sleepily, the regal stretched, unfurling himself from the tangle of limbs that were compromised of four sleeping puppies. puppies, he mused, that grew like weeds.

Finally upon his paws, the large wolf lowered his head as he swung out from the den, the scent of rabbit welcome to the wolf as his eyes blinked tiredly, adjusting to the sunlight. Kieran was here, and a welcoming smile pressed past the beasts' usual stoical mask, his muzzle giving a light nod to the male. "Kieran," he greeted, though his tone held question to it -- he had been the one to call for his Alphas.. so this was likely not just a visit to the pups. Giving his thick pelt a quick shake, the Alpha withheld a yawn, believing it would appear rude to his visitor.
