Stone Circle things

Valette winced lightly to herself at the direct questions Nikai was asking. Yet, the female wouldn't hide things from him. She wanted him to know the truth. He was her son after all. "I don't know. Maybe we will one day," she spoke thoughtfully. She looked away as she paused for a moment. "Ezekiel and I were together before," she admitted then to Nikai. "Or we sort of were. I had a crush on him and he had a crush on me. We sort of admitted it to each other. Together we went to scout for new pack lands as the pack's ranger. It was a mission from Steady," she explained.

"Ezekiel went with me as he wanted to spend time with me, and well, I wanted to spend time with him too. We came to this valley and we decided to split up to see more suitable areas. We would see each other again a few days later in Wapun Meadow. However, Ezekiel never returned to me," she spoke, still sounding hurt by it. "I waited for him for days but no Ezekiel. I had to return to Steady and we moved here. Our first month at Easthollow I went to Wapun every day to wait for him. I was starting to think Ezekiel was dead. My heart was broken," she spoke softly, looking quite vulnerable. Nikai didn't know her whole abandonment issue.

"Then you came with your sister and healed my heart a bit. I also grew close to Steady as his mate also left him. I fell for Steady badly and I loved him dearly. Then just before he died Ezekiel returned. My past love while I was currently in love with someone else," she spoke with a sigh. "Then Steady died, and now we are around here. Ezekiel and I are doing better friendship-wise and I do know that it was beyond his fault that he stayed away so long, but still, I mourn for Steady. I would still be with him if he was alive. So maybe in the future when my heart is healed again I am open to take Ezekiel as my mate. Sometimes love and crushes can be complicated," she admitted to her son and offered a hint of a smile. "Quite the story huh?"
