So sorry again for the long wait. I'll be trying to keep up with my Layla posts more often now. Long posts are hard for me to type up though. WC: 1,008 {10 points}
Layla was enjoying the days away from her home. This was she would be able to continued to get the exercise she craved and Saluce would no longer have to be bothered by her morning mood swings. She remembered the last time that she and her beloved mate got into a fight over her sickness. She never wanted that to happen again and to make sure that happened, she made sure she was out of the house. Even though her chest was causing her a lot of trouble and pain, she didn’t mind. The behemoth deserved to have some time to himself and she didn’t want to disturb him while he was working on her sword. She still couldn’t believe he was making her a weapon. Who would have ever thought that a healer would also be one to carry a weapon. She gave a small sigh before she rose to her feet and continued to make her way into the vineyards. The autumn breeze flowed through her hair as the land around her danced. It was such a lively day and the black and white she wolf wondered if there would be someone around she could share this wonderful day with.
Layla paused when she thought she heard something. It sounded like new pups… but that couldn’t be right. The mistress had met most of the wolves here in the pack and didn’t know there were others besides herself who were pregnant. This was a great moment to meet another member of the pack and get some advice on what to do when she had her own pups. To be honest, the black and white she wolf had no idea what to do. She was not sure if her motherly instincts would kick in once the pups were here or not. The new soon to be mother drifted her mind away as she walked along. Her mind was confused on what to do with the pups. She did know some of the basics of caring for pups. The mother is the pup’s teacher and first source of play. The she wolf couldn’t wait to play with her newborns at home and teach them all about what she knew. She would be taking part of her father’s shoes seeing as he was the one who taught her most of everything she knew. Speaking of her father, she wondered how he and her mother were doing. She hadn’t heard from them since they left her and she wondered about them every single day. She was sure they were both doing well, but that still didn’t stop her from worrying about them. The she wolf stopped walking and looked to the sky. She remembered when she was a young pup, staring at the clouds with her parents and trying to point out their shapes to them. It was one of the happiest moments in her life, and with pups of her own on the way, she was sure her happiness was only going to increase.
Layla’s ears finally moved as she caught the voice of a female. The voice was close and maybe this too was the source of the noise she was hearing before. She followed the voice and came to the cream wolf’s presence. She stood at a distance so that she could get a bit comfortable with her being around. The mistress sniffed the air trying to get the scent off the female. She was indeed another member of Dahlia de Mai. A small smile crossed the black and white she wolf’s face as she spoke. ”I’m here. Sorry if I’m disturbing you. I’m Layla Nishant. What’s your name?” After looking over the female, she finally saw the little ones in her lap. So this was the mother she was looking around for. All of the pups were beautiful. The she wolf ventured closer to the mother and her newborns. She didn’t want to make the mother feel uncomfortable, so if she asked her to back away or growled to her, she would back away and keep her distance. The soon to be mother watched the pups continuing to move around in her lap and smiled more. She had to admit her favorite out of the bunch was the one that looked more like a husky than anything else. The brown and the white matched up well and made for an interesting combination. She could see a bit of the resemblance in her mother and wondered if the father of these pups was also a member of Dahlia de Mai. Seeing as the mother was alone, she guessed that the father was actually not a member of the pack. That must have been a bit harsh for the female sitting before her. The she wolf wondered if the male she had these pups with was her mate, but she was seeing him secretly. The mistress normally was not one to keep secrets, but she didn’t want to ruin a mother’s chance at happiness.
Layla took a seat, wishing to finally get off her feet and take another break. She couldn’t go far with the pain in her chest, but she did the best she could. Her smile remained on her face as she continued to watch the pups moving around. Perhaps if the pups approved of her being there, then the mother would as well. The mistress ventured to start up a conversation with the cream wolf. ”Your pups are so beautiful miss. They all seem so active too.” The black and white she wolf ran her fingers over her chest and tried to imagine herself in the mother’s position. She could see her little ones laying with her as she cleaned them. It was a beautiful thought but one that would soon enough be short lived. The female didn’t know the future fate of her family, but tried not to think of the worst since she knew it would kill her happiness. The she wolf crossed her legs as she waited for the mother to answer.
