Golden Glade For the Sleepless Wanderings

Shalon listened quietly, saddened and angered by her Queen's abusive past. "I am sorry to hear of you past Aspen." If she ever met one of her brothers she would be sure to rip them a new one, "No one should experience such wounds from their own family." She spoke agressivly, but refrained from snarling, Aspen was here not her brothers.

"After such a terrible past Nightmares are not uncommon." Shalon tried to sooth. "Do you want to tell me about them? Your previous family." Shalon made a point to emphasize the word previous, letting Aspen know that she had a family here, "They can't hurt you anymore, after all. Perhaps talking about them will help you know that you are not that small pup any longer." Shalon wasn't sure if it would help, but telling someone while in a safe place with someone you trust could help.

"You can't forget too, Aspen. You have been under a lot of stress too, with starting a new pack and becoming a leader. You have worked hard to get where you are, perhaps these nightmares are related to you stress recently." Shalon was still knew at this and was trying to make as much sense as possible.
