As we all gather into the packhouse the females begin to spoil me. The pups bring me flowers as I sit upon the floor while my females surround me some platting;my hair while the others brush scented oil upon my skin. This is and always has been a tradition.
There is no male in sight. It is a rule, while the Luna is with her females the males are not allowed to disturb.
"We missed you so much, Alpha." I hear Elriam's voice behind me as I swiftly turn to look straight at her. I raise my hand towards her as she takes it and sits next to me. She puts her forehead upon mine closing her eyes as I do the same. She greets me with tearful eyes as I softly smile.
"I am sorry." I tell her. "I am sorry, all of you." I tell once more looking at all the females.
"It's okay we understand. We always will." They reply with soft smiles and warm eyes as my heart calms down.
