(Now a post from Forgotten Wolf since his comp is used is limited)<br/><br/>The emotions in the den were every where it seemed. Primarily the scents of arousal, annoyance, and frustration flitted around as everyone started getting gear towards finding mates. It was amazing and a bit scary that everyone was all ready like this and the Heats were not even there yetâ€¦ it was all exciting and thrilling for Thomas. He could not help the small race of his pulse as Lucia and Aidan started eyeing each other down almost.<br/><br/>Unfortunately things could not stay in their relatively upscale beat as Eryan started to break down with the absence of the majority of the pack. Everyone fell quiet at her out burst and Thomas took a moment to collect himself, intent to tell her what happened but Juliet reacted before him. To make matters worse for Thomas, Matt acted swiftly after Juliet and told Eryan what happened.<br/><br/>Denial, horror, despair; all these emotions passed across her face as the news sunk in and she shoved Matt away. She was losing it, Thomas went to try and say something perhaps to bring her back but before he could her emotions overwhelmed her. The howl that erupted from her was laced with so many powerful painful emotions that Thomas could not hold back his own as her pain brought his flooding back as well. His howl joined the others in their sad chorus that echoed out into the woods before finally fading to a deathly silence.<br/><br/>As the last remnant notes fell, Eryan wavered and fell to her knees as the grief overwhelmed her. Thomas didnâ€™t waste anytime at this point and went over to kneel with her, pulling her into a tight hug. â€œIâ€™m sorry Eryan,â€ Thomas said quietly and sympathetically to her with a hint of guilt in the undertones, â€œWe did everything we couldâ€¦ Iâ€™m sorry.â€ He could not hold back his tears anymore as that night weighed heavily upon him again.
