Stone Circle fortunate son

Valette turned her head when she heard a familiar and cheery howl. She smiled knowing that it must be Alya, her daughter in law so to speak. She trotted to the border, glad that her and Nikai decided to return to their pack. She had missed having them around and she had been wondering how they were doing with all these shocks going on. When she made it to the border she instantly saw that Nikai wasn't with her.

The matriarch couldn't help but be worried. Her expression went from a smile to a slightly worried glance as she approached. The female stopped and nosed Alya in greeting. "Hi Alya, good to see you," she smiled. Perhaps Alya wouldn't return and was just here to bring them a message. Still, she couldn't help but ask... "No Nikai?," she wondered.
