It was a cold chilly night in the middle of winter,as a wolf cries echoing across the woods in pain. A black shadow darted across the forest in search for his mate. As the cries got louder he burst through the undergrowth. Only to see his mate with her grey spotted coat gistening in blood, panting as she went through spasms. Ariel he cried as he raced toward her. As she cried out again and a male pup slid out. "Shade" help she cried. Shade raced over to her and started to lick the pup. He sighed out of relief as it took its first breath. Ariel cried out again as another pup came. Shade started to lick the next pup he reconized it as a female. Ariel cried out loader then the last as the last pup came out and she collasped in a pool of blood. Ariel he cried. Shade Ariel said take care of the children, and with that her body went through another spasm and she went still to never take another breath again. "Ariel"! he cried but then he remembered the last pup and saw it was another male and he licked it as well relived that at least it was alive. He looked at each one wishing Ariel could see the three beautiful pups once. A pang of guilt went through him if he was at the tribe with her she might still be alive he thought. He looked at the pups now the first one looked like Shade with his black fur but his eyes took on Ariels to a beautiful forest green. Your name is Smokey wispered Shade. Then he took a breath and looked at the female, she had white fur with a brown strip down her back, her eyes had a shade of brown that looked like bark. Your name shall be Willow for your white coat and brown eyes the shade of a willows tree bark. Then he looked at the third and he gasped when he saw that he looked just like Ariel with his grey fur with black spots on it, but his eyes were Shades that were Blue like the water of the ocean. Your name shall be Ocean in honor of your blue eyes Shade wispered as he layed down next to his dead mate to say a final fair well and gently nudged the three siblings next to him as he whispered "sleep well my love guide me in my and our pups pawsteps". Then he looked at his pups and thought what can I do now. He curled around them and fell asleep next to his mate for the last time.
