Jessie & Drac
Jessie was resting quietly while Drac nosed about the den. The pup wasn't quite old enough to leave the safety of the chamber, but he could crawl about. His puppy fur was just beginning to change, showing dark gray with faint black streaks, resembling the grizzled look of his mother somewhat. Although his eyes were milky blue still, they'd too change. Almond.
Jessie yawned and stretched out her legs, then crawled to the den exit and blinked sleepily into the bright light of day. She had kept her pregnancy and birth seceret from the pack, mostly because her mate was Dusty; a wolf who hadn't been invited. Although she highly doubted that her alphas would dissaprove of the kindly male, Jessie felt awkward about it all. Still... it was time to announce her news to the world. Sucking in a deep breath, Jessie let out a loud howl.
Drac whimpered a bit, missing his mother's warmth. "Momma! Momma!" He called out, not able to see much of anything in the dark tunnel.
Nightcrawler
By now, Nightcrawler was healed, though rather scarred up from his encounter with the King Hounds. All was well. And yet again, nothing had happened with Kali or the others, so things seemed to be going alright again. Well, except that he didn't know where the fae was, and he thought about her a lot.
Hearing Jessie's call, Night picked up his fleet pace and headed for the den. It had been a long while since he last spoke with her, and he felt a bit guilty about that. But as he thought on the subject, he realized that maybe she didn't want to be talked to. Putting those thoughts aside, Night approached the den with his bright eyes lit up. His tail came down a bit but his ears were perked in utmost curiousity when he caught a wiff of pups. "Jessie... you're a mother?" He exclaimed after a moment, his tail beginning to wave slightly.
Dusty & Fyre
Dusty had stayed away from the main lands, and slipped into the Den area only when he was sure that no one else was about. It was easy enough to do, since the rest of the pack stayed away from this place, it seemed. Hearing his mate's call, Dusty knew it was time to finally meet the pack; he was half glad and half fearful. What if they didn't accept him? He'd heard good about Eytan and the others, so his trepidation wasn't as great as it could be, at least.
Moving quickly across the ground, his heavy muscles rippling under his coat, the large brute headed towards the den. That's when he spotted Nightcrawler. Dusty slowed down, his tail and gait going stiff as he drew closer to the other. Dusty-tinted eyes, after his name, came to rest on the striking yellow orbs of the other male. Fur bristled slightly, he placed himself beside the den enterance, stanind beside Jessie. Yes, he was defensive of his pups and mate. "I'm Dusty. And you?"
Fyre, named after his grandmother, nipped at Drac's scruff, trying to pull his brother to the side. "I'm bigger than you!" He barked in a squeaky voice, his plump little tail held up.
Nightcrawler
Nightcrawler took a hasty step back, eyes locked onto the intruder in suspicion. But at last, his gaze dropped and he looked down, submitting somewhat to the much lager brute. Afterall, he could see now that he was a mate to Jessie. "I am Nightcrawler. You are... Jessie's mate?" His bright orbs switched to the female, "Should I notify the pack?"
Jessie & Drac
Jessie paid no heed to this subtle dominance battle, although she still felt rather badly about how she had left Night after he saved her life. What was done was done though. "Thank you, Night. Yes, that would be great if you'd do that for us." She turned to Dusty and nuzzled him. "Now you won't have to be sneaking around anymore."
Drac growled loudly and swiped his paws at Fyre, "So!" It wasn't much of a comeback, but it's al he could think of.
Nightcrawler
He gave a smile, "Of course." With one last look to the pair, the black wolf turned away and headed promptly for the central lands. He was dying to see the pups, learn their names, their scent; but that would have to wait.
