The setting sun casted shadows upon the rugged mountain side. A faint whimper was heard , echoing along the meadow sheltered by the sheer cliffs, which seemed to cave in any moment.
The cry was from a shewolf, waking to discover that all her pups but one were cold and lifeless. The shewolf nosed the surviver closer to her as she picked up each of the limp bodies and threw them out of the den, tears forming in the her eyes.
Once the den was free from the overwhelming scent of death, the shewolf turned to the pup, who was alive, yet weak and cool to the touch. Immediately she started to lick it, in a depserate attemt to warm it up. The pup aroused and started to yelp in protest, twisting and turning blindly. The shewolf sighed in relief and let it nurse, her tail curling over it protectively.
Soon enough the pup was asleep, wrapped in its mothers warmth. The shewolf, however, was wide awake, staring out of the burrow as darkness fell and the stars glittered above.
