There weren't enough words in the world to express the gratitude she felt towards Tharin. He wasn't even a member of her pack, yet he cared for her and brought her food when she needed it most. He checked on her, cared for her, helped her hunt. He was a great friend, and whoever won his heart would be lucky to have him. Kiara smiled but her heart ached. The mention of her packs...situation, didn't make her feel better either. The diminished size of the pack had been weighing on her mind for a while. Her friends had left and the recent events with Salsola only made her even more nervous. If the Salsolan's found out about her and her children, their future would be jeopardized. Kiara ran up to Tharin and rubbed her head under his chin. Thank you!
Kiara had foolishly believed that being a mother wouldn't be much harder than being a puppy sitter. Yet, her children had proved her wrong during their first two weeks of life. When they were infants, it wasn't so bad. They were awake for only a few hours a day, and although they could get loud, it wasn't hard watching after them. But once their eyes had opened everything had changed. How could she survive the next few weeks as a single mother? The task seemed impossible. White ears flicked forward and sapphire eyes watched carefully as Tharin moved closer to the den. However, he stopped at a comfortable distance so his advance wasn't met with any challenge from the new mother. Kiara chuckled as he voiced exactly what she was thinking. Big handful. They do have names, their naming ceremony was several days ago. The mostly white female is Lucia, and her brother is Kohaku.
