love will find a way

Corvus had only been gone for a few days, but even that felt like an eternity when she had such a special secret to tell him. Outwardly there wasn’t much to be seen different about the pale she wolf, but stirring within was her greatest treasure. For so long she had been haunted by the fact that she couldn’t give her husband a family. They’d suffered such a great loss and then nothing for so long. She was getting older now, and her hope had nearly died until now.

Twig tried not to let herself get too excited, so much could happen between now and birth, but she was aware this time. She could take better care, she could see this pregnancy through to the end. She had to. Twig refused to think about the alternative as she toiled around the den, tidying and freshening the space for Corvus’ return. She knew he would be back any time, and she was so eager to see him and tell him what they had to look forward to.
