Blackfoot Forest Bad decisions, that's alright

As she padded next to her mate to the meeting, she realised something odd. She and Leto were the only ones left. Lilith's scent had faded, she never had been reliable anyway. Many others had left, Aaron and Samuel among them. Minna's heart went out to Amara and Liri, the two alphas who mates had simply left them. She glanced at Leto, an odd feeling that she had no name for at the moment.

At the meeting, she sat beside her love, no longer hiding their feelings for each other. She leaned in the slightest against his larger form as she listened to Liri speak, hiding a grin. It was only she and Leto she truly addressed, perhaps Sen. And Rosings was already their family, and Liri would make an excellent Alpha, she reasoned.

Her gaze went to Amara, seeing what she had to add. But when the female simply turned her head aside, disregarding them, Minna's heart plummeted. Amara seemed...duller. Like the loss of Aaron had left her less, like her role in the pack no longer mattered. As she watched the woman, her eyes found the slight curve of her stomach, and a chilling thought occurred to her. Amara's heat had been about a month ago, hadn't it? She had scented it around the alpha's den. And now with Aaron gone...the possibility that occurred to her was shocking, but she remained silent.
