Unforgivable

It was terrible, not having her there with her, learning about the world and growing up into a beautiful she wolf. She was angry at all the time that was stolen from her, angry that she would get the chance to raise her little girl. But mostly she was simply heartbroken because she hadn't been able to birth her alive. Alpine told her she was not at fault, but it felt so much like she was the one to fail her child. Like she hadn't been strong enough to stop her creation she wasn't strong enough to keep her alive through gestation. It was that thought that would keep her from pulling father away from her sorrow, though alpine was correct to see the slightest hint of a spark back in her royal purple eyes. She would feed off of his warmth and strength so freely given to her as she started to pull herself from the vast oceans of misery. It would take much time, but Twig would survive her ordeal. Sadness would be her only companion for many moons, but she would pull through. With no small thanks to Alpine. His words would soothe her as she felt her sobbing start to subside, her body's convulsions ending. She would find a reason to go on, if only for Alpine telling her she needed to survive.?

He would gently offer to retrieve her sustenance, but the girl was still rather sickly. She would try though, not knowing if her stomach would comply. "I will try." her words were meek as she let herself soak in his warmth before he left, "But, would you help me to the den. I don't know when Jinxx will be back." she didn't want to ask more of him, because already she had asked too much. He had suffered with her in the den, shouldering her sorrow as they mourned together. She would sigh heavily, it would be a long journey forward.?
