Larksong Grotto Familiar faces, foreign places

Hearing that the mate he had left scorned and the pups brewing in her belly were physically fine, Reek allowed the rest of his tension and worry to abate on the breath of a sigh. However, if not bringing news, Lunar must have had other intention by showing up at Reek's newly established borders. He waited for her explanation, which immediately brought him a great level of surprise. Reek raised a brow. She would choose him over the Maplewood?

It seemed an odd choice, but Reek was no stranger to these surprising circumstances. He had chosen Tavi and his own selfish desires over his own family, his pack, his mate... and without admitting it, Reek knew he would have done so again. "Of course," he said, nodding. Lunar Eclipse would always have a spot among Reek's most trusted, and while he had wanted her to stay in the Maplewood to watch over his children, he knew there was no going back once she made this decision. Now that she was here, she would never be allowed to return— of that, Reek was sure.  

She continued on, declaring her loyalty to Reek alone. He welled with pride. His stance straightened. "Welcome home Luna," he added; a thin smile adoring his face.
