Mother of Gods

The scents that filled the den told him all he needed to know. Serene's day had arrived. Today his children would be born. That knowledge sent a thrill of excitement through him. God willing she would give the Abraxas many strong sons and daughters today. "Don't be. My love, you are giving birth to gods." Malleus reached out to press a soothing kiss onto the top of Serene's head. "Just think. In a few weeks time they'll have the run of the place and you'll wish you could pull them back in." Her anxiety was etched in every line of her face and he wished he could relieve her of it. Unfortunately, he could not. Sure, there were plenty of herbal concoctions out there that would lessened her fear and pain, but he didn't know how their pups would react to them and he wasn't willing to find out. She would have to weather the storm as her ancestors had done. Wolves had been giving birth for eons; they didn't need much help. The bulk of his skills would only be needed in the worst case scenario. As such, he'd prepared for the worst case scenario. Hopefully his supplies wouldn't be needed and he'd simply be "catching" through this whole affair, but in any case, Malleus was prepared. All he needed was his supplies. "I need to call Pascal, Serene, so I will be right back, okay?" Without another word he shimmied back up the tunnel. Once outside he threw back his head and howled for his companion. The macaque would fetch the supplies he'd gathered and bring them to him. Hastily Malleus returned to his laboring mate. He lay down beside her and curled around her in the hopes of offering comfort. It didn't look like she needed him just yet. "Do you need anything? How far apart are your contractions?" |
