He had wanted to be there, to stand behind his wife one more time… But the pups needed someone to watch over them and he didn’t want them seeing the violence of the world they had been born into. Not yet. There would be time for them to learn the harsh realities of the world; but not so young. They deserved to live in childish bliss for a while longer. But he had dozed off, those days of no sleep finally catching up to him and the pups slipped away.

With a growing sense of dread he realized exactly where they were. The bedraggled man pounded towards the gathered group, casting a pained look at the two wolves fighting.
Helios moved instantly to his sister’s side, setting himself down beside her and focusing his gaze on the pups. “It’s alright.” He cooed to Philotes who looked more than a little uncomfortable. “Come here.” He beckoned the children over. Being here was painful enough; he would be there for his children no matter what happened.
