Aviana's blue eyes were dull as she left the secure borders of Morningside. She felt stupid, believing even for a moment that @Shale might be interested in her. It was plainly obvious by he and @Pema's scents mingled together. They may have faded a bit, but Aviana wasn't stupid. She knew what those smells meant. That Shale had mated with Pema. Was she so dense that she didn't see they were into each other? 

She clenched her jaws and narrowed her eyes. She would not cry. She was a mature adult wolf, and losing the first crush she could ever remember having was not something she would shed tears over. She felt like a pup who had just had her heart broken, instead of a five year old, weathered wolf. Then again, the experience Aviana had in her past of males hadn't exactly set her up for a great love life. She shook her head. She would not allow the past into her present. She had decided that before coming back to Seb's pack. The only thing she wished was that she would have gotten over it a long time ago. 

She might not have even really cared if Grayday hadn't just given her permission to breed. But, she didn't think Shale was her only option. Ulysses had been kind and polite when she met him, and even though they had only met once, she would take the possibility. So, she set out to find him.

With a sigh, she entered the forest, not really paying attention to where she was going. Not very smart for a female in heat. But, having been through this several times before, she mostly ignored the symptoms of it. A ruckus caused her to come out of her trance. Her ears perked as she watched a wolf fall to the ground. She gasped, and ran towards the female, thinking the worst. Thankfully, she started to move as Aviana halted next to her. Are you okay? she asked, the worry evident in her voice.
