He unglued his pelvis from Fox's just long enough to take a brisk walk and fetch himself a drink. He intended to head back directly, yet the view captured his attention. The nearly full moon hung low over the frozen lake, looking as white as virgin snow except for the soft gray blemishes that marked its distant craters. He stared for a moment, licking the cold moisture from his lips, when the sight suddenly and inexplicably reminded him of Pantaleimon.
Grief welled in his heart. Even if Pan wasn't gone forever, he was gone now, which meant he wouldn't get to be part of the pups' lives. That thought put a lump the size of Canada in the Alpha's throat. He swallowed thickly and sat. He still planned to head back shortly, yet he found he needed a moment to let the melancholy wash through him. Only when the waves settled again would he rejoin Fox and refocus on starting the next generation with her.
