Chapter 1
That night it the air was damp and felt as if it would a soon, though Moon had kept her eye on the morning star as it began to rise, yet while the moon began to fall. The light filled the den with a peaceful outlook, a nice day. The glorified sun took the dampness and made it disappear. It always seemed to play tricks on Moon, it was unfair. Today, however, she would outsmart it. She moved her eyes toward Knight, he mate, then whispered to the sun “Exile”. The sun had no need to exist, this was a fact to Moon. The moon itself lights the way perfectly, she told herself, My moon. She smiled to the sun then chuckled “a joke is taken, my friend”. A pain roared at her stomach, was it time? She had been pregnant with pups for 2 months now, 60 days approximately. It was normal for them to come 3 days earlier. Very, in fact. She kicked her hind paw at Knight who shook himself awake. “It’s time” she gave him an assuring look. Knight froze “Contractions start?” he scooted to her side then began to lick her stomach soothingly. “The sun’s curse.” she shook her head “Yes.” She kept silent for a bit then let a sharp wine out. Knight looked at her carefully “Im counting..” he said pushing numbers in his head, his voice sounded excited, indeed, inside he was. She let another yelp about 2 minutes later. “Two minutes apart” he said in a shaking voice, nearly a minute. A whine let out again “Seconds, now Knight!” she began to inhale. Exhale, she told herself, inhale, exhale. They repeated through her mind. A tiny yelp passed her as she licked the newly born pup, then pushed it towards a teet to let it suckle. “Sunny.” Moon said. “She is, Sunny of the Blue-Ridge Pack” Knight looked at the pup then chuckled as he nudged it saying “Sunny’s your name -- Feel good? Try it on for size.” he sat still as Moon gave him a silent death stare. “Nothing..” he began to clean the next pup, a pup that was plain black, opposite from Sunny, who’s coat was a tawny color that had a golden highlight. “Shadow” She took the pup from Knight and placed him beside Sunny. “Another?” she asked miserably, she was tired and laboring just two pups made her this way because it was her first litter. The runt came, it was ash gray with a white streak from it’s muzzle to it’s chest. Rare. Very. It also had a black streak from it’s shoulders to it’s hindquarters. “Ash” Moon smiled “Two girls, and one boy.” Moon lay her head down, falling asleep while the sun was out, had she not outsmarted the sun?
It was very shocking how fast they grew, though the first few weeks, all they cared about was suckling and sleeping. They dozed off, which was 50% of their day, the other 50% was the suckling. “What an easy life!” Moon began to eat the elk’s leg that Knight had just brought her. “True, very” Knight agreed, pushing a carved rock, which looked like a water bowl, forward. “Drink” he said as she noticed the water in it. She began to lap up the water, her nose was dry and so was her tongue, the last time she’d had water was when she had given birth, a week ago.
