Ouroboros Spine came down over the sleeping mountains

Mara had been nearly as far away from the source of the call that she could get and immediately started trotting through the forest at a brisk pace. But apparently not brisk enough. When she reached Mordecai, most of the other spine wolves were already there and the small russet she wolf felt embarrassment heat her cheeks. She hoped she hadn't made to bad an impression on the wolves she hadn't met before. She had only heard the tail end of what her alpha was saying but not enough to get the gist of the meeting.

Mara recognized a few wolves in the group, but the rest were foreign to her. She had met Mordecai, of course, Cara, Harley and Kaname. She glanced around wearily before entering the group, hoping she wouldn't totally interrupt the speech Mordecai had been giving.

"I'm so sorry I'm late!" she exclaimed, her head dipped in greeting. "I was very far away when you called." the petite girl explained.
