It was nice to be able to sleep in dry furs, cuddled up in a big ball of coyote love with his now huge children. The makeshift bed bowed under their combined weight; it would not be long before Basilio and Azucena shifted, and became full-fledged members of the clan. That was why moments like these were fleeting and Helotes stayed awake while his son and daughter slept against him. He watched their faces, suddenly missing the days when they were so small he could hold one in each hand. The idea of having more children seemed to come to the forefront of his mind, and it was then that he looked out the cracked and dirty window into the sky.
The moon was nearly full, and that caused him to suddenly remember an arrangement he had nearly forgotten; Aeron. They had agreed nearly two moons ago that they would meet before the moon was full in October, and here it was. The Anathema leader had asked for him to impregnate her, and he suddenly felt like it was more of a desire than a duty. So carefully, Helotes unraveled himself from the web of his children’s bodies and snuck out of the room like a ghost.
The night air was cold, nearly biting, a reminder that autumn was close at hand. Helotes didn’t mind, the colder months meant thicker fur, and he always felt more masculine when fluffy. The thought brought a private grin to his face, and his day-dreams made the trip to the borders a quick one. Once he neared, he could hear the haunting sounds of wolves calling the distance. Deep down, a part of him wanted to call back, though he knew his coyote yapping would be nothing compared to their echoing calls. He managed to keep quiet, for the scent of a female coyote in heat came to him; it was Aeron. He found he quickly, just outside the borders in a tree, My lady. He said huskily, his eyes reflecting eerily in the moonlight.
