Take up your new name

While it was strange living within the confines of a pack yet, it was not entirely unwelcome. Zephyr knew it would take some time for him to grow accustomed to pack life again after so long as a rogue, yet he was thankful that Dragoste was a small pack, a place he didn't feel completely stifled. At least it gave Caelum somewhere safe to give birth to their children - something he knew was coming soon, but had never quite mastered the art of anticipating perfectly, when she finally called out for him. He'd spent a fair amount of energy helping Caelum dig out their den, and while it might not be spacious, for now it certainly worked. Depending on how many she had, of course. Initial worry for her birth and for their children had slowly become muted, taken over slightly by excitement instead of fear, at least for now. Only when he heard her call ringing across the land did he feel that fear creeping in again. Caelum wasn't exactly of prime childbearing age, and he was all too aware of that fact. His pace quickened as he redirected himself toward their den, hurrying as quickly as he could. He squinted into the darkness as he finally arrived, knowing the last of the sunlight would soon disappear below the horizon. "Is it time?" Zephyr asked softly as he slipped into the den to fall to her side. He knew the answer, so it was more a rhetorical question than anything, and before she answered he moved to press his snout against the back of her neck in a comforting gesture. She had done this before, more than once, so he knew she knew what to expect, yet he also knew it had been a long time and that this birth would not be as easy as previous ones. |
