"Arey...." Yes. Like saying his name would summon her missing lover forth. Keep dreaming Aya. The tall, chest hight grass waved slowly to the flow of the wind, brushing up against her sides as she stood staring out over the vast expanse of the Expansion. Say /that/ ten times fast. She was, of course, not in the same mood as her role player and so her face held no amusement. In was actually quite cold, not letting through the emotion she really felt. Betrayal. Had he left her? Did he have another mate? Why hadn't he tried to find her?! She'd even stayed at their second home longer than the rest of the pack whom had moved back to the Vales a few weeks before now. Where was he?

With a great sigh she let her slender legs buckle under her and settled into a self made 'nest' amongst the lush grasses where her weight had made a previous indention. She'd been here in the Expansion for many days, mostly because it was the choicest place to wrangle up some grub, but also to look for a denning area. Even if Arey didn't come home she planned to have children. Even if it meant asking one of Arey's brothers, or (god forbid) Kaddar or Tylos. It was her biological clock, it was ticking and she wasn't about to ignore it anytime soon. She really couldn't. Not with Dinalli practically nonexistent. Come spring she would have pups where the supposed alphess gave her permission or not.
