Stone Circle One more body to bury

When she heard Arlette howl with an intensity she disliked, Valette's heart jolted. Not only because her daughter howled to come but also in the way she howled. The matriarch knew their relationship was rocky at the moment but something happened that was serious enough for her to come to Arlette. They had enough on their minds lately, and she wondered what was the matter now. She made haste to go to her daughter. When she approached she looked at Arlette and --- Valette froze. Stark. No. It couldn't be. Stark had no white in his fur, the hazel eyes. Her eyes. Merrit.

Could it possibly that something good was happening at the moment? Her tail wagged and she rushed forward until she she realized that there was a dead body on the ground. What was it with her children being around dead wolves lately!? She frowned and then looked from Arlette to Merrit, clearly confused and unsure what happened here. She didn't even recognize the body as her son. She didn't give it a second glance, before stepping closer to Merrit and Arlette. But the moment she did Arlette turned away from her, ears back and not even looking at her. Valette's ears flopped back and turned her gaze to Merrit. "What happened?," she asked, her voice unsure since she was not certain Merrit was mad at her too. She didn't know what Arlette told him.
