Upon resting his eyes on the Alpha, Mato’s tail tipped happily and a smile spread upon his lips. Nova and Benjamin set the path; the former leading the way and the later trailing behind sleepily and Mato scrambled to follow them.

He had yet to have the mental capacity to truly grasp how much bigger their world had gotten. Instead, he turned to Sebastian curiously, tipping his head to the side as if to question just what was next.
