She hadn't even considered getting even relatively close to the pack den for months. She hadn't considered it a possibility for she feared that they would look at her like the insane wolf she had discovered she once was. It was different though, she knew she couldn't hide forever and it was time to act on the knowledge about what could happen. She had only heard of Nina; she couldn't remember who she was still. Ashanti had never crossed paths with her because the woman was a mother who was caring for children and Ashanti had kept close to the borders the entire time. She thought it was time she poked around near the pack den to see if anyone there might be able to help her learn more about what exactly had happened in her life before Ipsum Falls had found her. She was nervous and the anxiety had started to get under her skin but not into her mind.

So far her mind had been bulletproof and healthy.

She gulped as she saw form that was the den before her. Her icy blue eyes were filled with worry as slowly her white paws moved out in front of her. What would they think? She was sure they knew she was there because her scent was always around the outskirts... but what would they think of seeing her so close to where they kept Nina's own blood? Would they still look at her as that crazed and unstable girl? It was behind her and parts of her didn't want to believe that it was real even. Her head lifted from her paws slowly as she peered within the contents of the den. "Hello?" The voice was steady and calm but she had no idea how. She would have thought that she sounded shaky, even terrified.

She could feel her heart beating out of her chest and she was almost sure that the others who may or may not have been around could hear it too. She was nervous that her tail flicked slowly from side to side in an almost anxious way. She was terrified.

She was surprised to not hear a voice of an adult but instead to hear a puppy speaking. But it wasn't a normal puppy voice... it sounded like a puppy for a little more then a month and by her calculations, Nina's puppies were already past their two month point. With a soft voice she started to talk to the pup to put his mind at ease in case it was just somewhere else. "Hello little one. I'm Celestina but most here call me Ashanti." She stayed very still because she wasn't sure she should be around one of @Nina's pups without her consent first. But truthfully, she was too scared to see how the mother and queen would react to her presence after her mental collapse that she remembered nothing about.

Every day is the first of the rest of your life. She reminded herself as she slowly entered the den and sat down. "What is your name little prince? Is Nina your mother?" She asked the boy carefully as she gazed outside the den. She was worried what everyone else would think. She was, without a doubt, highly insecure that she actually belonged in the woodlands. She was told she belonged here but she didn't feel it. She felt like she'd be cast out like a sinner and it scared her. She was terrified that maybe no one would be able to answer the questions about who she was and who she was supposed to be. To be honest, ever since she found out that Dractive wasn't her father, she had been terrified of rejection and her past.
