"He-hello..?You whimper. Your odd tail tucks close against your body, your legs tremble in the cold.
You are lost. Completely, utterly lost. You hadn't meant to go this far away from the den, but...
"Momma?"It had been hours. You shake, your legs buckling under your frail body. You let yourself fall. You don't have the energy to protest.
It was just li
ke falling asleep...---

"Is she awake yet, Viia?""I think so, Alexander."A rough, cold nose nudges you in the side. A large, bushy, maroon wolf stares at you. The wolf turns headbutts a slender silver female lightly and pushes himself to his feet. He takes the head of the third wolf - a blue and peach male, slightly bigger than the red one - in his mouth, gently. He leads him over to you, carefully bringing the blue wolf's nose to your soft belly.
You squeak softly at the touch. The blue wolf grins joyfully.
"Octaviia! You saved the puppy!"He wags his tail, head held at a strange angle. He doesn't seem to be looking right at you, or anyone else. The red wolf smiles a little bit in pride. The silver female - Octaviia, you assume - holds her head up in a gloating manner.
"Told you the healing powers were real, Ulysses."Ulysses huffs. Octaviia grins slyly.
The blue wolf turns his head back in your general direction, appearing to focus on something near you. His eyes are strangely pale - may he is blind?
"I'm Alexander," he says gently,
"Octaviia is my mate and Ulysses is my brother. He doesn't really talk. We saved you!"
You cock your head. Saved? From what? You were fine, just asleep, right? You look around you - it's clearly been hours, maybe a day, since you went exploring.
Alexander continues on.
"We can't find your family so you're just going to stay with us. It'll be so fun!" he exclaims gleefully."We're going to call you Anatole."---

END STORYI'd love to adopt this girl! She'll play a major role with this trio, and will ultimately become Alexander's savior when Octaviia and Ulysses are killed.
