Every Fire is a Lesson Learned

Bane nuzzled Alena's shoulder as she leaned on him to rest, the male humming in satisfaction as how she was doing. The Amenti she wolf seemed happy with the name he'd given the second pup, curious eyes watching Alena the entire time as she struggled through birth. A third young one came next and by this time Alena looked absolutely thrashed, Bane's gaze unshifting as he watched her. His name was called, Tahlia having arrived and Bane scooted closer to his real mate away from the birthing one, an exhausted on his face. This was murder simply watching this and not being able to to a damn thing about.

Five pups... incredible. But bastard children... and Bane could never watch them grow...
He watched the Alena look up at Tahlia and he followed her gaze to his real mate. Alena adjusted herself against the dry earth and Bane marveled at how fast she went to sleep. Without another word Bane stalked up out of the den and wrapped his neck around Tahlia's.?"They may be mine Tahlia, but I'm still yours. Don't you ever forget that." Bane stared at his mate with a serious gaze, taking one last look at the female who bore his young. "Let us distance ourselves, she needs to rest undisturbed."
