Stone Circle Please do not push me away

Valette could really see a younger self in Merrit. She had been quite the same, questioning what it was worth. However, Merrit seemed to have more of a black and white vision compared to her. Then again, she could be the one that could make him see the grey area in between. "You won't always lose them, Merrit," she spoke to him. "It not a consequence of having friends or experiencing love. However, it can happen," she explained to him.

She hoped that it would be clear for him. She didn't want Merrit to be closed off and not have the social interaction he deserved. "You shouldn't deprive yourself of social contact in fear of losing them. You are a wolf, and a wolf is a social creature." She would hate for her son to live in fear. He was not a prey animal, he was on top of the food chain. "Love and friendship is worth it. Could you even imagine living without your siblings? Or living without my love? The friendship of the wolves of Easthollow? It would make life pretty dark and alone," she offered.
