Zeus waited a few moments for the new wolf to make him feel better. Usually the pup could tell the difference in form his parents took by the rhythm of their steps. Two paws and four paws made different sounds on the ground. This had been lost now in the confusion of the moment and his little paws milled the air for a moment in surprise when strong hands lifted him off the ground. He had some trust in her simply because she was a grown-up so he didn’t protest more. She spoke and he was again lost to the meaning in her voice. He folded his ears to try show he didn’t understand. More warmth was given then and soft words he understood this time were comforting until she began to clean his wounds. The young voice whimpered yet again and squirmed but still waited for the promised relief.
When the cleaning stopped, he expected then that the pain would go away. But it didn’t. It felt a little bit better and didn’t sting as much but there was still a deep, aching pain from the wound. This was just something more he was unaccustomed to. Then she pressed on his wounds lightly. That didn’t help. Did she know this wasn’t helping his hurt? That hurt, he whined and rubbed his nose into her chest for mercy. The hurt wasn’t going away like she promised. He listened for what was going on. The beat of a heart under more mommy-like wolf’s fur was loud and the smell of the other was still strong. That one was still here to. Where was mommy?
The sudden tummy-turning feeling of being lifted further up came as a surprise. This wasn’t what he wanted. He still hurt. Was this stranger going to take him away now? No! No! No! He cried, Put Soosz down! Mommy said stay! He was trying with all the strength left in his little limbs to get free of this strange wolf. It hurt him to move so much but he had to. If he didn’t get free she would take him. Then when mommy came back she wouldn’t know where to find him! She would be mad he moved. He didn’t try to bite her yet. He had been taught not to but would didn’t know what else to do if she refused to let him down or tried to take him. He had to stay here.
