The Sentinels Into the light

@Dante 

The madness had begun to wane from Osprey's bloodstream, receding step by step until one day her head was clear and she was herself again, as if someone had lifted a spell that had been cast on her. It had been nice to steal Dante away and have him all to herself, exploring the mateship on a whole new level together and realizing that she loved him in a way that she had never felt about another person. 

Even now that they had returned she had let Dante return to his duties as beta and guardian of the territories reluctantly, feeling a little jealous about the job that prevented him from spending time with her. Though she made herself busy by hunting and searching for food, her mind was was elsewhere, thinking, where he was and what he was doing right now, the separation seeming almost painful. Eventually she decided that waiting was enough and with a dead rat between her jaws, she set out to look for him.
