The sound of the pups whining for her attention opened her purple eyes. She looked down fondly at the little bundles, nuzzling them closer to her belly. This feeling was indescribable, an amount of love that had no measurement. She knew in this very moment that this is what she was meant to do, to mother these little ones. She was going to teach them to be strong, and to fight and defend themselves. And above all, she would show them how loved they were. Mercy would not repeat what her own parents did, not once would her babies feel like they didn't matter. The sound of paw steps lifted her head, and she smiled when she saw her mate entering the den. He stepped in, the light blocking out his features. But she knew that it was him, that he had come back from hunting. He dropped the rabbit and settled in behind her. Pushing his cheek into hers, he let out a long sigh. "They are so perfect," She nodded her head. They really were.

Mercy jolted awake, blinking at the sunlight that filtered onto her face. The weight of the dream suddenly hit her like a tree falling on her. She could never have that. She would never know thr true feeling of being a mother. She never thought that that is what she wanted, but now that she knew she couldn't have it... her soul yearned for it. It sat on her heart, and she started to cry. Forgetting where she was, and who was with her, a sob broke free. Her front legs rose, covering her face with them. They crossed over her muzzle, tears staining the short hair on her legs. Her form quivered with the force of her crying, and she felt like her heart was breaking in two.
