There was no way to explain the amount of joy he felt over the fact that he had children. Children that were truly his and not one he had just grown attached to. He loved his adopted children with all of his heart but there was a certain sense of completion that accompanied knowing that he had sired these children. That he had found a woman to cherish and love that would want such things with him. Never had he imagined himself being a father but once he had adopted Belladonna, along with others that had followed, it had become quite apparent that he was quite the father figure. Hopefully, this would hold true for Narimè and his as well. Ever since they had been born, Ash had stuck close by, giving Yuka direct orders on what should be done with everything that was going on. The Hervok allowed his adopted son to take over Guardianship duties. After all, he was an adult now and with that came even more opportunities in their field. And so he put his trust in Yuka to oversee the duties that Ash would sometimes oversee, while he spent time with his beautiful flower and the children that she had brought into their life. They were absolutely gorgeous, though the name behind their names had not been able to keep hidden from his love. He felt embarrassed that he had needed to do it, but she had been understanding. Since then, the topic had not been brought up.
The pups were finally starting to move around better, though Ash knew from prior experience that there was still a whole journey for them ahead in life. It reminded Ash of his age and of his need to commit to his lover and their children. He could not throw himself in the midst of danger without thought anymore like he had almost so readily done for his sister. That man would have to leave for some time, especially now that Narimè needed his protection and love. He had promised that he would never leave her unless it was through death and he planned on keeping that promise until his dying breath. He just hoped that it would not be any time soon. For the time being, his time would be focused on their family and the pack, others who opposed them could in all seriousness, fuck off.
As he made his way to the den, baring a gift for his beloved, he expelled such thoughts from his mind, allowing the warm feeling he had yearned for to enter his heart. A deep growl from him announced his presence, as he put a plump hare in front of the mother, his mossy green eyes traveling over their three children. Every time he looked over them, there was a light of awe and love in his gaze. Sometimes, he still had to remind himself that this was his reality and it was a sweet one. Softly, he spoke to Nari, not wanting to irritate the children, "How are you feeling, my dear?" Ash had the feeling that his mate still held feelings of anxiety over whether he would disappear or not. In reality, the alpha still held the same fear towards her and so everyday, Ash made sure to check in with her, to let her know that he was still there.
