New life for a new day
The new mother would glance down at her children, a smile pulling at dark lips. Despite her exhaustion, an unexplainable joy filled her. Before Ares had a chance to reply, an unwanted and familiar stench filled their den. Lips peeled back to reveal ivory daggers, a vicious snarl ripped free from her jaws as her body curled tightly around her newborns. Tattered ears pinned against her skull, eyes narrowing upon the last woman she wanted to see. Hackles lifted dangerously, tongue angrily behind fangs. Ares had spoken little about his meeting with Artemis, but obviously she had been informed that she would be made an Aunt, much to the new mothers dismay. She didn't care for the fact that her children shared blood with the pale bitch, she would have no part in their lives.
A question would fill the den, but it was curl of pale lips that had the sable mother rising. "Get. Out." Venom dripped from dark lips as she positioned herself between her children and their adversary. Newborns shrieked in protest, demanding their mothers warmth and nourishment. Her pale enemy had the audacity to make herself comfortable as though she was welcomed here. Eyes shot daggers at the pale ghost, toes flexing so that claws dug into the ground with irritation. She knew it would take one howl before the entire pack came running, she had been at the pack meeting, Katja knew she was pregnant and due any day. The new mother fought off exhaustion as she stepped towards her sworn enemy, wanting to force her to back out of the den. |
