Her whole life, her whole existence led up to this very moment. This moment where'd she'd give birth to innocent, new life. Athena had been having subtle contractions all day, but they would only last about ten seconds and only came maybe once and hour. However, as soon as her contractions gained strength and frequency, she knew it would be anytime now. Moving as quickly as she could, she found the den that she chose to give birth to her cubs. The den was relatively close to Naira's old birthing den, where Athena had raised Belladonna and Datura, but this year she wouldn't chose the old leader's den, she'd have her own to claim.

Once she was inside the den, she laid down and let her instincts take over. Heavy panting could be heard outside of the den as the contractions got stronger and soon she felt the warm wetness behind her signaling the start of labor. Time seemed to pass in slow motion. It felt like an eternity before she felt the instinct to push. Within that eternity, a small brown bundle of fur escaped her. Snapping the cord that connected them, she nudged the quiet boy until he was properly suckling. Cleaning the placenta off of him, she felt the instinct to push once more. This time she heard the screams of her white daughter before she felt her escaped the womb that she inhabited for several months now. She would soon realize the strength of her daughter's voice. Quickly biting the umbilical cord once again, the exhausted mother nudged the loud girl towards her belly, so she could nurse next to her brother.

Athena, now exhausted, but still overjoyed, she waited for more contractions, but none came. Once again, she was graced with two children. This time they were truly her own, her own flesh and blood. This time, she would more determined than ever to not lose them. Her fiery eyes gazed at her two cubs as she thought of names. A part of her wished for their father to be present, but another part of her knew that in the end she'd always be alone caring for her loved ones without a stable man next to her. However, the more she thought about it, she has had a stable man next to her. Ash, her loyal Guardian, had been here since the beginning of her rule and he has given her every ounce of himself. But, through trial and error, Athena has learned that she doesn't need any man to complete her or help her rule her own kingdom. She was a matriarch and one that didn't need the presence of another.

He had been doing his rounds, just as he had been doing most of the time, trying to keep his mind off of everything. Mainly the fact that Belladonna was not here by his side, like she was suppose to be, letting him teach her. The pain of her loss was still there, but soon the new legacy would be born for the Poisoned wolves. Yes, she would still be missed, but the new pups would be something to take his mind off of even more of his heart ache. The new pups would be a new responsibility for him and it would expand his love even more. The only thing that was even bitterer than heart ache was hatred. He absolutely hated Eden for not staying with them and leaving Athena, breaking the oath he had given to them all. If he were to come back Ash would not hold back and Eden would be driven away, perhaps even killed if he even tried stepping foot within the pack’s territory again.

He had not been expecting today to be the day. The day that Athena would give birth to the children of Poison Path and the fate of the pack would once again change. The first thing that alerted him was the change of his lady’s scent in the air. Immediately, the fur along Ash’s spine rose, a defensive growl rising from his throat. He took off immediately, not taking long to get to the area where he knew Athena would be giving birth, determined by the direction her scent had been heading. He did not put foot into the den, knowing full well that if he did so, he would probably be risking his nose, something he could never afford to lose. He could hear her inside, grunting and groaning as she delivered. When screaming reached his ears, the dutiful guard froze in his sitting position, panic racking his body as he forced himself to remain rooted in his spot.

Then it was silent. Pricking his ears and heart filled with worry, he decided to take a risk and peek his head into the den to look upon Athena and two beautiful pups that lay suckling to what the woman had to offer. When his eyes landed upon the small form of a female body, the man sharply inhaled. The small white pup was an almost perfect resemblance to her mother, something that intrigued Ash easily. Almost stepping in but quickly deciding against it, he looked upon the small beauty before them. Without realizing it, the brown brute had whispered, "Aphrodite Moon." The name was foreign to his mind and lips, but it had come to him and he looked towards his lady, surprising himself with glancing at her with a hopeful expression in his eyes. Perhaps she would take the name that Ash would offer. A beautiful name, for a beautiful pup. He knew now, looking upon the new members of the Poison Path family that he would not allow these pups to be fatherless. No matter what, he was going to make sure these children grew up with a father figure…and he…was going to be the male to do so. That was, of course, only if the task was approved by Athena.

I think I've finally seen the light..in you.

As usual, she wasn't alone for long. She could sense his everlasting presence as easily as she could smell him. Her true Guardian Angel stood outside her den, watching and protecting her and her cubs from the known and unknown. She couldn't measure the amount of loyalty that the brown man held in his heart for her and Poison Path itself. The gratitude that she had for him couldn't measure up to his devotion, but she would always try. So, once his head entered the small den that Athena and her two children occupied, she reached out to him and kissed his snout. Ash would truly be the only one welcome to enter and be this close to her precious and vulnerable cubs. Nobody else was trusted enough in her eyes as of yet.

When he offered a name for her little girl, a smile formed in her lips as she considered it. Looking down at the small ball of white fur, the name immediately clicked for her. Smiling up at her Ash, Athena nodded and quietly told him, "That's a beautiful name for her." Focusing her attention on her little boy that looked extremely similar to his father, she considered a name for him as well. "Elliot... Elliot Moon," she stated quietly, her joy filled, fiery eyes looking up at Ash for his approval and acceptance. It was a lovely name for a lovely boy.

The two of them nuzzled together against her belly, warming each other with their body heat. However, Athena first nudged the second born daughter towards their forever Guardian at their sides. Discontented squeals escaped the small girl's mouth, but Athena pushed her on until she was within Ash's grasp and warmth. Smiling contently at the sight before her, she relaxed with her son while Aphrodite and Ash meet for the first time.

Considering just doing the whole, I wanna be with you thing right now. :P

When he entered the den, he had not expected to be greeted with a kiss, but immediately he returned it with a lick to her cheek. I was obvious in his mossy green eyes that he adored Athena. They would go to the ends of the earth together if one day everything came to that. He had stuck by her side through thick and thin and he would never imagine ever having to one day leave her side. The thought pained him and though he did not wish to cause the alpha any pain, his one true fear was that one day he would. He knew that the rest of the men who had worked their way up to lead by her side had failed her and disappointed her. Wounding her heart to where sometimes it was just too overwhelming. If he would have taken the throne in the first place, he knew this would have never happened to her, and that she would not be hurting as much as she had in the past. Ash knew though, it was time for Poison Path to stop living in the past and start living in the future.

When her voice greeted him, he felt his heart skip a beat, thrilled that the White Queen accepted the name that he offered up so easily. He then pricked his ears forward, listening to the name that Athena chose for the boy and letting it roll over in his head before nodding, "There would be no better name for royalty." He muttered this quietly, glad to see that the exhausted woman was finally settling down with her pups. What happened next caught him by complete surprise. His lady was nudging small Aphrodite towards him, encouraging her to go towards him. Stepping forward a bit more to close the distance between them and towering protectively over the small white pup. Compared to him, she was much like a twig, one that he would hold until the day he died with the most precaution. Leaning down, he gently rubbed his muzzle against the top of her head, letting his breath warm her back as he whispered softly in her ear, "Welcome to the world, little one." After a few more moments of cooing over the new born, he encouraged her back towards her mother’s belly, hoping dearly that she would go fest on what her mother had to offer her. Lifting his head then, he looked into the fiery amber gaze of Athena and whispered, "They’re beautiful."
