The speckled pup emerged from the den, looking over to him as she spoke. For a long moment he remained silent, regarding his daughter quietly. His jaws would part, but nothing would come out at first. A heavy sigh finally fell. “Thisbee…when we told you to run, one of the wolves tried to go after you. Your mother and I tried to distract him. She got to him first.” He would pause here, letting it sink in that her mother had gotten to the wolf that wanted to hurt the speckled pup first. “They fought. I couldn’t get to her…”His words trembled as he took a shaky breath. “Thisbee, your mom isn’t coming…” He should have tried harder to get to her, but if he had she would have lost both a mother and a father, he couldn’t beat them all. He gazed down at his pup with a look of pain and sorrow, if she didn’t understand the words, she would understand through the pain in his eyes, the hurt. Her mother, his mate, was gone. |
