Stone Circle Mountains return to their hollow

Valette had quite something to think about after talking with Ira. She had been very clear about what she thought about her father. Greyback wasn't returning. Valette didn't want to believe it but then again, the men in her life didn't give her a good track record. Her father, her brother, Reek, Mason, and Ezekiel all left at one point. Steady died so she didn't count that one but also a male she lost.

She was extremely worried for Greyback's safety but also an added worry if he was going to leave Easthollow. Valette would be extremely disappointed if he would never return. She was lounging with her children when she heard the howl. Instantly she jumped up and all her worries were forgotten. She rushed towards the howl, her heart leaping and beating excitedly. He was back!

Valette came running from the forest out on the plains towards the large shape that was approaching. Greyback looked even bigger, maybe she was mistaken. She ran faster now her eyes had locked down on him. "You're back!" she called out once she was closer and needed to start to brake. She pushed her paws into the ground and managed to brake fairly well. She instantly came up to greet him. She couldn't help herself and pushed her face in his fluffy mane. "You're back," she whispered more to herself in realization.

She realized that her greeting might have been a bit excessive. But then again, she didn't think he would return after talking to Ira. Guilt was getting to her a bit as she thought of Steady. With a flush on her cheek she pulled back and battered her hazel green eyes at him. He was really back. She kind of wanted to bury her face in that fluffy fur again. She missed special contact, that more intimate contact with someone. Was it bad that she was searching for that with another? She pushed those thoughts away again. No. Stark. "How dare you stay away so long!! I thought something happened and then Ira said you wouldn't come back! And— I was just worried," she admitted.
