The wind was starting to pick up, it wasn’t too bad, but Jiva could feel something in the air. He was alerted about it and could see the clouds, rain splattered here and there but it did not feel right. His nose twitched as he looked to his mate who had been alerted by his sudden stop they were just outside their watching Leaf be as cute as could be. The boy had been growing in his heart by day and he felt fatherly, and wanted the boy to grow up well and respected even in a pack. He had been extremely relieved when Zalen had seemed to accept the kit. He thought that something bad would happen when his alpha found out.
He could see the concern in his mates eyes. Something big was coming and it wasn’t going to be good. Jiva knew that he would have to talk to Zalen about this, make sure things were ok to move forward because he thought of the community den. There was a storm coming and it was big. He had Palaydrian get the boy and they all hurried to the alpha where they explained what they were feeling and saw. Zalen ordered Jiva to do what he could to protect the den from the torrent that would be coming within days, even hours.
That was what brought the young man to the mouth of the den, he howled for all, Drin was close by with Leaf who could feel the stress that came from Jiva. He was sure others would want to help make sure their den was not flooded. He knew that it was going to take many paws to dig out a ditch big enough to divert the water from their den. The howl reverberated through the trees as urgent for anyone who could use their paws to come and help their pack.
