Peace of Mind

The males paws tensed against the spongy moss as he stared at Callisto. Another whine following his previous left him at her words. Ears flattening as she broke the news. There would be no pups. No wiggling babes to look after and watch as they grew. He had been used. The word "whore" came to mind for a moment as he just stared at the she-wolf. But the standoffish demeanor before they had done the deed didn't echo acceptance one bit. Hell, her fangs against his throat didn't exactly count as normal courting behavior as far as be knew. A slight scowl showed his confusion.

"Was this all for your heat then? Not just my seed? I don't...." Jakart trailed off and looked away from her. Callisto must have had her reasons. "You enjoyed it yes? The burn lessened now?" Jakart felt as bad for her as he did his sisters during their season, having no idea what their bodies put them through. The she wolf had even said that the herb would prevent pregnancy this time. That ruled out barrenness, and left only the heat to be lessened. And pleasure, there was that. A shallow smile pealing across his muzzle. This time. Suddenly her last words came to mind. This time? Jakart suddenly stood up on his forelegs, realization creasing his brow. Callisto had confirmed that she was no virgin, but now a previous mother? "This time?" The grey wolf murmured, everything starting to be pieced together.
