( out of curiosity when EXACTLY is the new due date??
here is mine anyway, i dont want to miss it )
I opened my eyes lazily, the light blinding me; it's warm haze drifting down into the den, almost testing the inside to see if anything lived within its dark depths. l I yipped loudly in protest, answered by five other pups creating a chorus of yips and yelps. A bark of joy told us our mother was returning with meat to quieten our song of food lust, which only continued louder in protest. I scampered ahead of my siblings to the entrance of the den, where i knew i would get the most food to satisfy my needs. Jumping up, i managed to bite a large leg of a rabbit for myself. Walking to a quiet corner alone, i watched the other pups eat their fill before eating my own. i always watched them eat, as a way of thanking my mother and father for such kind, wonderful siblings. Gulping down the goodness that i needed to grow, i growled playfully and pounced on my brother, SpringBreeze. Tugging on his right ear playfully as i leaped, earning a yelp and a growl from him as he turned, crouched down low poised to strike like a rattlesnake stalking it's prey before it bites. Twisting away i avoided his lunge, nipping at his hackles with an excited yip. Suddenly, a low mournful howl met our ears which we all responded to with our own, we all ran to the entrance of the den to investigate. Adult wolves crowded around an omega which my mother knew well so we often saw him in the den. The scout barked out his news to the other adults in a hurry before the beta told him to take a deep breath, as the scout breathed in deeply before talking clearly our view was blocked by 3 other curious wolves. As the adult wolves conversed, we listened carefully to see what had happened.
"There's been an attack..."
"StrongHowl Injured badly ..."
"An ambush from the eastern pack..."
We all whimpered as our father was mentioned, having rumored to be injured. We sadly crawled out to see our mother alone, probably grieving the known death of my father silently. I walked alone up to her and nuzzled her, whimpering and whining to comfort her out of her silent shell. Mother often had a soft spot for me as i reminded her so much of father, having the same pelt and eye colour as him- we were practically identical. I let out a small pain filled howl to comfort her and my family, i was soon joined slowly by the pack. We soon created a slow, sad song throughout the forest as we had lost our one and only friend and father...
