She yelps in pain again, quickly chewing the herbs before panting quickly.

" It hurts... really bad! OW!" she says, spasms raking her body

"Hey hey breathe my love.." He licks her and sees a head." Hey hey just breathe and push you'll be fine love.." he looks back at the blood pooling and sighs.." One out.. 4 to go love.."

A few hours later aroura was almost done, there was one pup left, it was taking a while to come though.

" Can't this pup... come... already?" she said through the pain. She pushed again and finally the pup, who was way smaller then the others, came out.

" Finally... aareon look how small he is... he's a lot weeker too..." she said tiredly licking the pup which wasn't having a lot of effect

Arreon looks way at the other pups and not the weak one, he silently whispers to himself." He won't make it... I know he won't he's to small... it happened to my brother to..." He pushes the weak pup towards Arreon's face as Arreon licks his face." Please live my angel..."

" come on... breathe... you have a familly waiting for you..." aroura said, her voice shaking a little.

The spirit wolf returns.

" I will take care of him... he will not be in pain... you did amazing aroura... I will see you all again soon..." she whispered, her outline shimmering before fading away.

" He won't be in pain... thats all i want, for him to be free... if he were to live he'd be very weak and wouldn't have a chance." aroura said to her mate

Arreon looks away."I'm glad he's in a better place now.." He whispers and stands up." You should start feeding the pups.." He tells his mate Aroura before walking to the edge of the den and bringing some food to you

aroura brought the pups close and let them feed. when they were done and aroura had eaten she fell asleep quickly, exhasted from the ordeal. she'd lost some blood but was hoping she'd be fine

Arreon just stays at the entrance going into protective father mode." I hope they'll be fine.." He looks up at the full moon and whines." I'm not happy I lost one but I'll do everything to protect my mate and my pups..."

aroura wakes up twords the end of the next day. the pups were asleep.

she sat up slowly, not wanting to wake the pups. she watched as Arreon kept watch even though it was cold.

" you must be freezing..." she said quietly, her eyes tired

"Shh.. sleep my love I'll be just fine..." He looks back at her and smiles even though his winter coat isn't fully in he still is incredibly warm and happy that he has a family now." I'll keep watch for a little while.."
