Thicket of Secrets We can count the stars that disappear

The mother watched in happiness as her pups seemed to warm up at the idea of meeting new wolves. And she liked particularly how Ashton was quick to try and learn their names. I wide grin formed on her face in happiness at his accomplishment, but lightly stressed the words of the name that he had missed. "You mean Iopah," she watched on in amusement as Danica and Tacoma soon followed in learning others names. It wasn’t long that their little gathering had formed, that her pack mates began to take their leave, knowing that they had other duties to attend to. Even though she longed for them to stay with her, she had to praise their commitment. So with a nod of her head she allowed them to go their own ways, letting a small smile grace her features. Though her mate had not come, she was still highly pleased with the way things had turned out.

Knowing it was now time for her children to sleep and rest, she turned them back towards where they had come, nudging them lightly back towards their den and cooing them in soft, commanding tones, "Come on, you three. It’s time for you to get some more rest." She was quick to get them settled and her golden brown body curled around them in a protective manner. Nina loved her children very much and would definitely make sure that they had a better childhood than she did. That would include knowing their family and being protected at all times.

It seems when you're around, my life is complete.

When Mama called them over to her a part of her wanted to complain, But, Mamaaaa...! She didn't want to stop playing, but in the end she did as she was told. After a final nip on Ashton's ear. As shy as she was around the adults, she was comfortable and secure around her brothers. They might all pester each other, but she knew that they would always look out for her... and she for them.

Obediently she moved over to her mother's side and burrowed into her warm golden brown fur, quickly falling into a slumber. The excitedment of being outside the den, meeting all of the strangers and playing with her siblings had caught up to the little Woodlands princess. Before long her tiny paws were twitching and an adorable yip escaped her maw as she dreamed of continuing her play in her sleep. The sun filtered down on the little wolf family, causing silky golden and cream fur to shine as she twitched in her sleep. Once she felt the warmth of her brothers as well as her mother she settled down quickly though and fell into a deep and restful slumber. Her parents and her brothers were with her. Nothing could harm her in her perfect little world so she slept peacefully.
