Days. That was all that separated her from birthing and now. The thought of pups made some of the depression lift. But it was tugged back as she looked at the empty den. Nova had been distant lately. Ever since that disastrous Pack meeting. She rose, feeling an overwhelming need to be with the gigantic black male that had given her more than she had ever thought possible. Pawsteps made heavy with unborn, days from due pups preceded her as she made her way out of the den, down the dark, shadowy ravine, and out onto the now well worn path. She picked her way along it under fleeting glimpses of the half moon?s light, eyes easily seeking the next step in the uncertain light. She paused as she reached a point where his scent branched off in different directions, seeking out the freshest. Finally, she chose one that seemed most reliable, and started tracking. Through forest, plains and meadows she followed the scent of her One. Her mate. Finally, she came upon him, thrashing and twitching and whining. A nightmare. He?d only had one or two in the time she?d been with him. So she did what she always had. She snuggled into him, nuzzling into his ear and crooning sweet nothings, bathing his fur in soft, warm kisses. ?I?m here.? She wished she could find the creatures he cursed at in his sleep at these times. Find them and tear them apart, limb by limb. |
