Twist My Tail [Jai Puppies]

She’d taken over from Justice for a few hours, letting the new – and likely only time – mother have time to herself while Aurielle led the pups on a small jaunt around the territory, showing them more of it, where the dens were, where the cave system was in the hillock, and where the pack met occasionally.

She glanced back at the pups, teasing just ahead of their noses with the long hairs of her tail, enticing them to play as she bounced forward a few steps. She’d been watching them grow and develop, visiting often. Fidelias was quiet, rule-abiding. His brother and sister were more exuberant and energetic. She wouldn’t be surprised if at least one of the two decided to go on their own way when they were yearlings. But looking at them, watching their baby tusks grow, she had a good idea who the father was. Unless there was some other man with tusks, she was pretty sure their father was the man she’d met in the Cove.

She’d have to track him down, and see what he wanted for them as the father. Both parents’ input was important, as was the desire of the children.

For now though, she just let herself enjoy being a pupsitter, casting aside the metaphorical crown just to be silly with the pups, just as she was with her own. “Who wants to hunt hares?”
