Stone Circle Time to say goodbye

Phiipa started running towards Valette as soon as she heard the howl. The golden woman hadn't known Steady long, but she'd heard much about him. He had seemed a good leader, friend and father to the Easthollow family, and losing him hurt her. That time they had met, he had seemed so friendly and full of life. To know that he was dead now, filled her kind heart with grief. She soon found where a few others were gathered, around the battered dead body of the dark alpha male. Tears swelled in the corners of her eyes as she stared at the broken family.

She hung back some, wanting to give those closer to him the space she didn't doubt that they needed. She felt especially awful for Valette. She knew if it were one of her sisters who lie dead at her feet, she would likely never recover. Losing a mate was probably similar, if not worse. The thought filled her stomach with a sick feeling, and for a moment she felt that she might actually vomit. It passed quickly though, and she stood there waiting her turn to pay her respects.
