Even as others arrived and began speaking, the pups were nursing steadilly. Her teats were sore, her body unused to so many at once. She continued genlty cleaning Dierdre's pups, suddenly realizing she would probably never see her daughter again. It hurt the pale mother to know that. Her daughter was gone. Gone....like everything else in the lands she knew and loved.
Five years old and she'd lost everything. She looked to Lucifer, realizing. not everything. Her mate, her pups...they were still alive. And then a question came to her. She knew befrr asking that her mate wouldn't like it, but she looked to Conri, suddenly worried. Conri...where was your mother? Do you know if she made it?
The pups had taken what they could, and were beginning to fall asleep. She gently began moving them from their position by her body to the bag. One of the pups, Noah, made a sound of protest. She licked his shoulder gently, nudging him aside to make room for the smaller newborn brothers.
