➸ Tawny

x 🦢

Tawny was exhausted, lying beside her beloved mate, Coot, who was giving her loving licks behind the ear. They both knew her time was coming...
The brown-pelted wolf thought of her days fondly. Her days as a scout, passed onto her young apprentice who took her place with pride. The same wolf she thought of padded into the den after a long rescouting mission, and he looked at her solemnly. It seems he, too, knew it was her time. Cloudy Beach lay beside his former mentor, resting his head below her chin and nuzzling her.
She began to drift, eyes drooping, and just before she saw the stars below her paws, she heard two mournful howls beside her.
