Deep Freeze

The winter seemed to be even more long and difficult than normal. When it had been just him and Carletta he hadn't worried about how he could find food for them. Feeding two wolves was easy, especially when they could both hunt fairly well. Ever since Carletta became pregnant and hadn't been able to hunt with him he had begun to work overtime to make sure he could take care of her. Then Ambrosio joined them. And now their pups were here. The number of mouths to feed kept going up but he was still only one wolf.

Even still, he felt incredibly blessed to have this second chance at a family so late in his life. His children, Ambrosio included, pulled his youthful self back to the surface. He put every ounce of his energy into caring for them and making sure they enjoyed their childhood and he wouldn't have it any other way. He had spent most of the morning hunting and now that he was done his back and joints were telling him just how hard he had pushed himself. His upper back between his shoulders had been a pretty consistent source of pain for him for many years now, but some days were worse than others.

He made his way toward the hot springs in hopes that the warm water might relieve some of the ache from his bones. It had helped him so many times in the past and it made him happy that they still lived so close to the springs. Leo eased himself into the water slowly since there was such a drastic difference in temperature from the outside air to the water. With a sigh he submerged himself in one of the deeper pools and let his eyes close while he enjoyed the feeling of the heat seeping in. Getting out of the water to go back home was going to be much less fun, but it seemed worth it in that moment for the temporary relief.
