Phoenix Maplewood Graced with a new life

Saena's abdomen was slow in swelling but it was now distinct enough that her condition was undeniable. This did little more than set her on edge. She not only regretted the pregnancy and would've given anything to reverse the effects, but now that she was pregnant, she was anxious about the outcome, the possibility of dying like her mother before her and the possibility that she would grow too attached to keep her promise.

Thoughts of this plagued the alpha female as she climbed from the depths of the forest, near where the Qeya River sparkled in the distance, until they were chased from her mind by a howl. She changed directions quickly and within fifteen minutes had spotted the red-and-black wolf. For the moment, her injured leg was hidden and her scars were only noted at the alpha female drew herself up in dominance and quirked a brow expectantly.
