Golden Glade thank you.

@Alder + @Aspen

This time, her tears served a purpose. They weren't effect of a hormone driven mother this time (okay, maybe the were, but that wasn't the only cause) but rather the products of complete, overwhelming gratitude. Eden was being hit with the truth of her situation all in one sitting and instead of sadness or anger, she was washed over in praise for the wolves who'd allowed her into their home.
As she sat in her den blubbering at the thought of what could've been, she reasoned it best to lift herself and alert the King and Queen of exactly how she felt. She made haste toward their den, though her legs moved awkwardly against her swollen midsection. Eden chuffed her presence as she came upon the den's entryway, before sniffling and blurting out her troubles.
Thank you, she started, laughing and sobbing in shallow breaths, simultaneously working to hush herself in the presence of the pups, I-I just...I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't taken me in, and it's not even like you had to do it, you know? You just...you just did. Alder, you knew you had litters on the way and you knew that I was pregnant and still you let me in. And Aspen, you could've easily sent me away to make sure that your litter was cared for as best as possible but...but you let me stay!
When Alyssum left, you helped me find out where she went and even when you found out about what she did, still you let me stay! And now you've let in the last blood I have left, and I thank you. As a matter of fact, I don't think that I could ever thank you enough. I...you have my loyalty forever. I mean, not to say that you didn't before..., Eden laughed, tickled by her choked speech, but you do. I'm going to do all that I can to earn my spot here in the court. You two don't deserve anything less than the best. With a crooked smile and one last sniffle, Eden sat back and gazed in awe at two of the most important blessings ever bestowed upon her in her short life.
