Chapter 9- Seeing Another World
A few weeks had passed and Oswald and his family had been settling in with the rest of wolves, who were starting to accept them as part of their pack. However they still kept their distance from Dakota, who still wasn't too thrilled with them being there, and stayed close to Aleu and Matsu.
Aleu made sure to keep a close eye on them too, making sure nothing happened to them.
"Hello sweetheart!" Matsu greeted, nuzzling her close.
Aleu smiled and licked her cheek.
"Are you doing all right?" She asked, gently.
Aleu frowned. "Yeah, why?"
"You've just been...tense….these last few weeks." Matsu said. "I'm worried about you."
Aleu let out a small, dry, laugh. "Don't worry about me, hun. It's just been...an eventful couple of weeks, but things are getting better...Fanny's walking again and her babies seem to be doing good….We haven't had any more trouble from Dakota...and we've gotten a lot more food in our reserves. Everything is going fine."
Matsu pulled back, still unsure. "If you say so….I'm gonna head to the spring and cool off a bit, you wanna join?"
Aleu looked back at the packgrounds before returning her gaze to Matsu. "I'll be right there...I just want to make sure things are all right first…"
Matsu gave her cheek another lick and giggled before heading off. "Just don't take too long, okay?"
"Okay." Aleu said, managing a small smile. She looked back at her pack, before getting a splitting headache.
Aleu fell to the ground, holding her paws over her head, groaning loudly.
A vision of a far off land entered Aleu's view: a peaceful forest. It seemed somewhat empty in terms of population, but was full of plant life. Many lakes and many buena vistas as far as the eye could see. It was almost like a paradise.
Aleu snapped back into reality in an almost dazed state. That was….weird…..I better go check in with Matsu….
