It's the beginning of spring, the sun is slowly rising up from its sleep as the moon slowly drifts down. The beautiful sky reflects in the eyes of an strong brute, watching from the edge of his den. His mate rests from behind him in the warmth of moss and feathers. As well as the ones resting in her womb, the pups that have survived and are to soon be born into this forest of the pack called, Eastern Woodland pack.

"Makoto I hate you so much!" A female wolf cried out with pain and anger. "You're so dead after this!" The wolf yelled once more.
"Sapphire please calm down, cursing at Makoto wont do much from this" The white and brown marked medic wolf named Mist spoke calmly toward her female alpha.
"Oh-oh-oh.." The female wolf panted. "He is so dead" She growled. The medicine wolf sighed and gave Sapphire a stick to bite on. "Use this for your anger" Mist told calmly, Sapphire on the other hand grabbed onto that stick as quick as possible as she bit down on it, nearly breaking it.
"You must relax and push" Mist shook her head.
Sapphire had done what she was told to do, she knew that this was her last litter to have, and the saddening of this female was she had only had one litter survive before this one.. But those ones hadn't lasted long, they died from sickness. The female alpha tried her best to keep them alive, but most were either born dead or were born and slowly died. Sapphire had hope in these pups, her stomach was larger then the other litters she had, and the medic wolf informed her that they were healthy pups. She believed in them.
"Oh are they ever beautiful" Mist smiled as she looked down at the pups, One stood out the most, it was a boy, and he was a very large one. Had the looks of his mother and father.
"He's a strong one" Mist pointed out with a smile. "He is.. looks like his father"
"Well.. the others seem to be fine.. but a little bit underweight, my dear" Mist looked at the other two pups, they didn't seem sick, just underweight. Sapphire quickly pawed them over to her as she let them feed. A smiled was on her face, but deep inside her was worry and sadness.
"Don't worry, I am sure they will be fine" Mist tried to insure the Alpha.
"Hm.. Where's Makoto.." Sapphire looked at Mist, eyeing her to get him. "Erm" Mist blinked, Mist was a shy and easily scared wolf.. She trained to be a medic, only to stop herself from being omega.. Like her brother. Perking her ears, she heard paw steps from the entrance of the den. "Sir" Mist bowed down quietly.
"Makoto!" Sapphire grinned with happiness.
"Did they make it?" Makoto looked to his mate, worried.
"Come here Makoto" She wagged her tail. Makoto slowly walked toward his mate and peeked over her to see three pups feeding, his tail wagged in happiness as he nuzzled his mate. "Oh thank goodness" he smiled with joy.
"The one boy there, who is larger is most likely the reason why the others are under weight, but I have hope they will come to health" Mist smiled.
Makoto looked down and stared at the large son of his. "What will we name them?" Makoto looked down at Sapphire for gaudiness.
"I was thinking, the small boy will be named Koba.. after your uncle" She wagged her tail. "Jr Koba" she giggled.
Makoto nodded with approval. "What about the little girl?"
"Hm.. " Sapphire looked to her. She was a light grey wolf with black stripe down her back. "Payton" Sapphire giggled.
"What about big boy?" Makoto asked, wondering what she got for him. "Name him" Sapphire nudged her mate.
