Phoenix Maplewood the old wolf remembers

I'll go ahead and get you all titled up!

With an absence of proper family figures in Reek's own life (barring his mother), he wondered how different things would be for his own childeren to have a broad network of loving family members. Reek was yet to know how fulfilling this could be, but he would be sure to show them in every way possible that they were loved - wanted - unlike their father had been. The alpha's features brightened with a broad smile. "Thank you," said Reek, deeply appreciative of what she had to offer.

Shreya's attention then turned back to her two youthful companions, obviously needing the time to give them their dismissal. They had a long journey ahead of them; Reek was sure, becasue he had made nearly the same trip a year prior. "Of course," he spoke before turning away to return into the wood. "Come find me when you're ready. I'll show you around."

Putting one paw in front of the other, Reek returned to the embrace of the wood.
