With Dhiren taking many of the alpha responsibilities Song had much more time to spend with Arivae and Garthinaw. Still she took her many trips around the perimeter of the pack, but at the moment she was enjoying a little nap with her beautiful new daughter. She?d hear the first alarmed call quite clearly, there were two voices it seemed and immediately she?d become awake and alert. Arivae wouldn?t be disturbed so easily, Song would take advantage of that fact. Nudging her gently away from her belly to sleep on her own it took song much longer to get out of the den. She was sure that Dhiren would beat her, and this was confirmed as she heard his call ring out as she exited the hole in the earth.
Quickly she would race to his side, he was curled around a dainty girl who was obviously writhing in labor pains. She?d seen her before, once with Dhiren, now she looked so much different. Was this child of Dhiren?s loins? Surprise would cover her features as she looked to her son for answers. He looked incredibly close to the girl, but why would he keep such a secret from her?
Before anything could be explained the new mother would let out a pained scream. Song would feel a growl bubble forth as she cursed not having a personal supply of herbs anymore. The girl would just have to go without anything. Guinevere would whine and writhe until finally a tiny pup would appear. She didn?t seem incredibly apt to move, so Song would care for the child. Cleaning it she would nudge the child to it?s mother?s breast, she was a beautiful pale white with a hint of her mother?s markings upon her face.. She thought maybe there would only be one pup, but as the she wolf again went into a fit of pain she knew they weren?t quite finished. Guinevere would expel another child. This one was a vibrant sunset orange, Song would gasp as she took her in.
Again she would clean and ready this pup, but a cry would not be given. Another growl would fall from her lips as she tried to resuscitate the tiny wolf, but it seemed she would be unsuccessful. They?d lost her. The alpha would sigh, pushing the deceased little one aside, sure now that Guinevere had finished her birth.
