Moonspear sojourn

For @Hydra and @Nikai

Alya's days had been filled with puppies ever since her arrival. Spending time with Hydra's litter had helped to soothe the ache left by the dual loss of her parents, and they all now held a special place in her heart. She felt almost like a mother, at times, but now longed to have a litter of her own. It would be different, she thought, when they belonged to just herself and Nikai.

She had been spending all her free time with her mate, but the demands of the litter had often kept her for long hours and even days. Too, she felt guilty whenever she saw his face and remembered that he had family he was missing, too. It'd been months, and Valette would surely be worried about them.

This in mind, she began tracking down her mate while calling for her sister. It was time that someone let Valette know what was happening, and she thought it best that the news come from her, now that the pups were a little bit older.
