The last month had certainly been a trip, and Viorel had not even gone anywhere. Still, it had been a whirlwind of his children and sister being gone and then having three extra pups to care for when they came back. To top it all off they were at the beginning of spring season, which meant hormones were alight and the leader wanted to go back to chasing his wife around.

Plus, Viorel wanted the Cove children as far away as possible when they started asking questions about what was going on with all the women. Those were questions he barely understood himself if he was being honest.

Coming into the grove that they had met both times before, Viorel grinned when he realized he had gotten there first again. Seeing that he had always been the slowest of hig age of Valles it felt nice to win a race once in a while, even if it was an unofficial one. Now they would just need to wait until everyone arrived and they could finalize the exchange. That, and Viorel was hoping to use this as an event to formalize their allieship with Sanguine Cove.
