“It’s stunning,” I said as 1 looked at the image of a large wolf standing silhouetted against a full moon.

“Yes, it’s nice,” David agreed, trying to hide lais disappointment.

“Is this hand–carved?” I asked, reaching my fingers out and delicately running thern over the lines of the image.” It must have taken hours, and the wood is such a beautiful color. Is it stained, or is it naturally like that?”

“It’s natural red oak,” the Alpha King responded, and I’m pleased that you like it. “I made it myself.”

I looked at him in shock. “I had no idea you had such artistic talent.”

“I don’t often get a chance to show it off,” he said dismissively. “It’s a She Wolf,” he explained. “I hope that the image might be some inspiration to help your own wolf reawaken.”

I was touched by the thoughtfulness of his gift.

“Thank you so much,” 1 said. “We’ll find a place of honor to display it.”

The King seemed pleased with this response. David was silent. I wasn’t sure if he was embarrassed by how underwhelmed he seemed by such a thoughtful gift or if he was just afraid of saying something else to offend the King.
