King Elk Forest Sometimes, she did not know what she feared, what she desired.

She watched as he came closer, not completely uncomfortable with the movement, but thinking to any passerby, it might seem inappropriate for her to be in such close proximity with a strange male. Out of respect, though, she hid her discomfort and remained where she was. When he spoke the name of her pack, friendly interest lit up her face. Yes. That's my pack, she answered with an elegant wag of her dark tail. Do you know someone from there? Effie asked next. It made her even more comfortable that he was familiar with her pack. Maybe he knew one of her half-brothers? She hadn't met anyone outside of the pack yet, so it was perfectly reasonable to assume that her family probably had many connections here that she wasn't aware of yet. She wondered if maybe he was looking to join them as well. She was sure Grayson would be very proud of her if she found another man to join their ranks.
