Love Will Take You Places

What is it now?

We've been in Moon's pack for only a few days. Dustin has been following Moon, her pups, and me continuously. Moon confronted him about it but he won't tell why. It was the middle of the night and I couldn't sleep. I decided to get up and go for a walk to stretch my legs. I accidentally woke Paw though. She looked up at me with a tired curious glance. "Hey you can go back to sleep baby, I'm just stretching my legs," with I leaned down and licked her ears gently until she fell back asleep. This time being more careful I walked out of the cave and towards the exit. There was a wolf on watch and he stopped me to ask where I was going. "I'm going on a walk, I cannot fall asleep and this usually calms my mind." He seemed satisfied with that answer and let me pass. I walked for a few minutes and then lied down in a small patch of flowers. They were purple, blue, and white... They were beautiful. I stared in awe as the moon started to hit them just right and it looked as if they were glowing. I stayed there until the moon passed and eventually I fell asleep amongst the soft petals.

I woke when I felt the gentle warm sun on my back. I looked around and it was barely past dawn. I stood and shook my fur and groomed it quickly. Looking around I picked a few flowers and started carrying them back with me, my mouth full of them. Trotting happily I made it back to the cave a new wolf standing guard nodded a greeting to me. I walked over to my pack and dropped the flowers. "I got these for all you, they're beautiful and I thought you would like them," I said proudly. For the first time in moons Lilypad looked up at me and mumbled something I could barely hear. I tilted my head and she said it slightly louder, "Could I...talk to you..?" I was a bit surprised normally she wanted to ignore me or criticize me. I nodded and she walked me to a open spot away from our pack. She took a deep breath and looked at the ground, "I've been thinking and I...I saw this pack and all the pups hanging out with their fathers and how much fun they were having and even Moon she hasn't seen her father her whole life," I felt myself grow weary at her referring to him as her father, "And I realized that you were right....MoonLight was not a father and never will be. He was a scum and he didn't deserve someone as nice as you.....and I'm sorry I've been so mean to you, after all you've been through, how strong you've been with your depression, and how nice you've been to me. I'm sorry mama... I love you," she looked up and looked into my eyes. I felt my heart grow so much, she hasn't called me 'Mama' since before MoonLight died. I stood and layed my head on hers and quietly mumbled, "I've been waiting for you to say those three words for the longest time and all I have to say is, I love you too darling. No matter what you do I'll always forgive you and I'll always love you. You'll always be my little pup," I stepped back and looked into her eyes and smiled.

I told Moon about what happened and I saw she was impressed. Lilypad has finally taken responsibility. I decided to bring up the topic of if she could keep up her responsibility that maybe we could consider finally making her a warrior. And my next few days were spent reconnecting with Lilypad. She had finally learned to accept me and it was bringing me closer to learning how to accept myself more as well. That night I was laying beside her and she gently wrapped her tail around me and we both fell asleep.

I was laying in the flowers again and I heard a noise behind me. I turned around and saw Dustin trying to creep up behind me. When he noticed I had saw him I heard him growl a deep growl
