Is it to good to be true?

It seemed Fern was stuck with an overprotective mate but things could be worse.  Rudy wished he could just keep Fern in the safety of their room until the children were born.  She was clearly round now, there was no way to doubt what she had said of pups within.  It wasn’t a lack of faith in her but the fear of what if something happened to her, especially with all the strange things happening.  Neither of them could forget what had happened the last time magic had shown up in the land.  Now it wasn’t just their lives but their children as well that could be at risk.

Still, the magically made autumn was undeniably pleasant.  All the plants were in bloom here making this place as great as Fern gully had been.  The smells of the area had plants Rudy didn’t have names for.  Hunting for game would be important but in a different way than before.  Too much prey could be an issue as they might overeat the vegetation, then again there was a whole lot of that right now.  Weaker animals might manage to live they should die to keep their genes strong.  While it could be said that wolves were killers in regards to the prey, in some ways wolves helped preserve the species' life by taking away the weak and keeping the numbers in line.

Rudy wasn’t about to mention any of this though.  Rudyard had no desire for Fern to work right now when she needed to rest and focus on their future children.  This was just a relaxing walk through a magic autumn land that seemed as full of life as his mate's belly.  “What do you think?  Do you think this will turn dangerous?”
