Who's the dad?
Asla

The only pups Naiche had seen before were Sirius pups when they were small and had acknowledged them as kids and members of the pack to protect. They had been alpha’s kids to keep an eye on but with no real feeling of warmth or a desire for kids of his own. Kids meant things would try to distract him from work, kids that would expect a father to give them love and lots of attention. That hadn’t seemed a route Naiche would enjoy much. Now there were two pups in front of him that offered a totally different view of things, especially the boy. That was his. Both were Asla’s. At Asla’s assurance, it would be fine Naiche leaned forward to gently nudge his nose lightly against the boy’s side, breathing even deeper its scent and feeling the truth of this indeed being real. It didn’t seem enough to stop his kid from his path for milk. That was fine. He had to grow up big and strong. Naiche would likely never agree with Asla on his having to leave. He could acknowledge it made sense to Asla but Naiche wouldn’t buy into the logic. However, it did make sense that the den was hers and not theirs. For all he labeled it as her den instead of theirs it was all too easy being back. Naiche was relaxed and even enjoying himself. His head tilted, just a fraction at Asla’s nuzzle so that for just a moment he seemed to lean into it but, he was a bit distracted. His eyes tracked Satira and how she too was going for a meal. Satira was clearly stamped as Mojito’s kid. She was also still Asla’s daughter and Arc’s sister. Naiche couldn’t imagine feeling the same possessiveness towards her at the moment but due to those connections, Naiche would guard her and care for her as much as his own. “I think they’re great,” sincerity in the statement. The relaxed wolf added, “I didn’t think I’d,” how to phrase it? “I didn’t think I wanted kids, yet at least,” Naiche gave a rueful smirk, “I can’t think of anything better than this right now.” His son, the kids, Asla, and even the familiar comfort of sharing the den with Asla; it all just felt so right. “You know,” Naiche fully raised his head, giving Asla a lick right under her ear, “I’m actually really happy right now.” Naiche felt content and it was certainly an emotion he wasn't use to. "Speech"
