Lost Creek Hollow All good things are wild & free

It seemed like Harlyn herself had been a wandered just like Arabella, which made her feel a stronger realtion to her Alpha. It was tough indeed, having to fend for yourself, hide from larger predators and scavenge when things were not so good, but she had survived, and in fact she had changed during her time alone, earning a lot of valuable experiences that would prove useful sooner or later.

The alpha asked then whether it was a habit of Bella's to 'sample potentially poisonous plants' and the female laughed. "I must admit I do it quite often..." she too, cringed at the idea, which now seemed a lot more dangerous than before when no one knew about it.

"I was hoping I could become a naturalist while under your guidance," she admitted, hoping to get a formal invitation directly from her to be her apprentice, just like Mordecai had suggested.
