He paced outside the makeshift den, the snow thick around his balck and white paws.

Something was wrong, he could smell it wafting from the den it self. The term had carried on longer then it shoudl have, and it had made her very sick. She had lost a dangerious amount of body weight, which, for her species of wolf was not good. Stelleron's where ment to be thin, but the fact that most of her joints, ribs and vertabre could be seen through her thick winter pelt had been the first indication fo problems. And when she missed the due date and it carried on for a few weeks longer, it rang even more bells.

He stoped, looking at the den.

It worried him. Worried him that she could be so sick. And here he was unable to help her.

He paced outside the makeshift den, the snow thick around his black and white paws.

It had only been a few days ago when she collasped. His jaws tightend. He hadn;t been there with her when it happened. Weak as she was, she told him to forget about it, that it wasn't his fault. But deep down he knew it was.

He stopped, looking at the den.

A sharp yelp had his ears falging up in alarm, and worry. The healer had told him that it was best he stay out side. She had told him that he would be no help at the time. He growled in frustration. He knew the healer was right.

Another yelp echoed from the back fo the den, followed by the soft cooing hum of the healer.

Knowing that she was with the best did not put his nerves anymore to rest then it should have. He continued to pace, the day dragging on into night, and still he waited. the yelps where more frequent and pain filled. Oh how he wished he could be there.
 
It was in the early morning hours when silence emited from the makeshift den.

He looked up to see the female dragon exit.

"Well Healer?"

The other looked back at the darkness of the shelter, before turning to face him. "She's very weak." His ears drooped. "And the....." The healer smiled softly. "Fine. They are resting right now, but over all they look okay. But right now, she is my main concern." He noded. "I understand." The dragon tugged his ear as a way of reassurence. "Ziya, I will do all I can to help her. But right now, she needs you more then anything."

Angain he noded, turned and padded softly into the darkend shelter.
