Some things can't be undone

He had been resting along the hills, not wanting to leave the last place that him and his sweet Chryseis had last met. He missed her dark form, he missed her toxic scent that over powered his own senses. So he had stayed around, hoping that she too, would miss him and come and seek him out. It wasn't long after that her song called out for him, and his albino form perked as he turned towards the sound. He trotted up to her, his jaws parting to let out his lyrical speech when he saw a a small bundle curled up within the darker fur of Chryseis's belly. He froze, bending down and sniffing at it. It smelled of water, but there was another scent that clung to its coat. The large beast scrambled back, shaking his head. He just gaped, his mind reeling. This was... this pup smelled of his parents. It couldn't be, no way. Shaking his head with vigor he backed up, almost tripping over his own hind legs.

Apollo could think of no words, his eyes couldn't even leave the pup to look up at the golden marked female. This had to be a mistake. He saw all the pups within his parents den, but this one he had not. He was utterly baffled, he couldn't even truly wrap his mind around it. "What is this?" He muttered, his salmon ears pinning back against his skull. He had a pretty good idea of what this was, but he needed to hear it from her. Chryseis would never lie to him, she would tell him if his mind was playing tricks on him. His ruby eyes still locked on the tiny form, he refused to do anything else.
