This is a private rp between me (Abbster) and wingfeather. If you are not me or her, please do NOT comment. You are more than welcome to read the rp for fun though. A male named Skyler and his pregnant mate, Winter, live in the territory of the Dark Moon Wolf Pack. Of course Skylar and Winter have never had any problems with the pack before. But one sunny morning, about a month after their pups were born, a patrol comes across Winter and the pups as her mate, Skylar is out hunting. The patrol threatens Winter and her pups if she doesn’t leave. They give her three days for her and her mate to leave…but they don’t as their pups are so young. Eventually, the Dark Moon Wolf Pack comes back and threatens the entire family to kill them…but not before the alpha has a say.

Skylar was almost flying through the forest as he chased a swift legged hare. This one was definitely fast, but Skylar was way faster, he followed the prey expertly as it dodged around trees and through thick undergrowth. Finally he overtook it and gave the hare a hard bite to the neck and once he tasted blood he released his hold. The hare fell limp to the forest floor. He picked up the kill again and loped swiftly back to the den. He had to go more slowly now to regain some of his energy, but the warmth from the rising sun and the pleasant eastern breeze helped to refresh him. Eventually Skylar reached the small secluded cave he and his mate called home. Quietly he entered and set the food down beside his mate, ''good morning,'' he said licking her muzzle, ''sleep well?''

Winter blinked open her eyes as sun glinted through the den. She noticed her mate gone. He must be out hunting. Winter smiled at the thought of fresh prey for their growing pups. Winter stood to her paws, which was still quite simple as her belly wasn’t that large yet. Winter stretched and then shook out her pelt. She sat down and began to groom her ruffled pelt. A few moments later, she heard the paw steps she loved the most. “Good morning my love” winter responded, letting her ears angle in relaxation as her mate licked her muzzle. “I did. Did you?” She asked him, licking his muzzle in return.

''Indeed I did,'' he said sitting down and wrapping his long dew covered tail about his paws. ''How are the pups this morning,'' he asked with a happy twinkle in his dark roguish eyes as he thought again about being a father and bringing up pups alongside the one he loved and cared about most in life, his mind continued wandering to how many pups there might be, and if any would look like him, and what each of their personalities might be. His mind darkened suddenly as he remembered the treatment his father had given him, and how he had hardly even had a childhood, but these pups would have a different life, he thought with resolution, where they would each grow up and blossom in character in their own separate and wonderful ways.

Winter smiled. “Good. I have yet to feel any movement from them.” Winter said, as she nuzzled her belly briefly. She saw her mates eyes glow with excitement…and then they darkened. Winter knew what he was thinking about. He had told her about his puphood. Winter moved closer to her mate and pressed into him comfortingly. She licked his ears and curled her tail around his. “We are going to raise these pups together.” Winter promised. “It’s not going to anything like your puphood. These pups are going to have the best life they could ask for.” Winter said. “I promise, Skylar. I promise.” Winter said, as she continued to press into him.

“Thank you Winter,” he said reaching up and laying his muzzle between his mate’s ears, “your right, our pups will have a good life,” he said finally. Skylar looked down at Winter again thinking back to that glorious day when he first met her, he recalled with a smile how the moonlight glinted dazzlingly from her striking white coat that late summer night, it seemed to him as if it had only been yesterday when he had deemed it the right time to finally ask her to be his mate, and the joy and radiance he felt at her answer.

Winter smiled and nodded. "always." She said softly. "How was your hunt?" She asked. "Did you run into any trouble?" Winter asked. Both knew that they lived in a pack's territory. Although they lived at the very edge of it that they never seemed to have any problems with the pack what so ever. Yes, it did still worry Winter, especially with pups on the way. Eventually, they would need to start to be more cautious of the wolf pack. The thought had always occurred to Winter. How would raising pups in an unknown territory be safe?

Skylar smiled, ''no, all seemed well. I did scent some of the pack wolves but it was old, whoever it was hadn't been around for a while,'' he said reassuringly, he knew how his mate was worried about the pack whose territory they had called home for a while. He got to his paws, ''why dont we both go down to the river a get a drink,'' he suggested, ''if you can,'' he added quickly, he was unsure how much his mate could move around with the pups on the way. She still seemed pretty active but he was always worried of her over doing it.

Winter nodded. "That sounds like a nice idea" She said. "It doesn't feel any different now than it did a month ago." She joked. Winter was only a month along in her pregnancy, but her belly grew with the days. "It is getting slightly harder to walk." she admitted, heaving herself to herself to her paws. She felt the weight of her belly hand below her as she stood up. Winter couldn't help but chuckle. She did know she would get tired a lot faster now though. "I can't stay out long. I know I'll get tired faster." She said as she walked up to her mate.

''Of course,'' he said pressing close to her. He would have rather she stayed in the den, but he knew fresh air would be good for Winter before she really had to stay put. ''I miss the days when we were out hunting together,'' he said as the walked carefully to the river, of course he would not have it any other way at this point and he knew that soon enough she would be back to her usual active self. Skylar guiding his mate carefully to ensure she had a good and smooth path free of sharp rocks and clingy thorns.

Winter smiled. "I do too, but you know its dangerous for me." She said as they reached the river. Winter settled herself down slowly and began to lap at the ice cool water. When she finished drinking, she sat back on her paws and waited for her mate to finish up as well. "You know we'll be back out hunting together in no time." Winter said. "It just feels harder to do everything now that my belly is getting so big." Winter said, as she gazed down at her growing belly.

Skylar drank the water down in great gulps, looking every once and a while over at his mate to see that she was doing fine, he was very thirsty after the early morning hunt and was very grateful for the cool drink, ''You've only got a month more,'' Skylar said, after he had drank his fill, butting Winter gently with his head, ''then you'll be back to normal,'' he said with a warm smile. ''But,'' Skylar continued, ''in the meantime, I'll be here to help you and above all, protect you.''

Winter nodded. "yep" she said. "I keep forgetting that we only have a month left until our little pups arrive." Winter said, with a bright smile. It was hard to believe that just three months ago, she was living in her pack....secretly the mate to Skylar, and then she became pregnant and they chose to run away together. A lot had changed in the last three months, and soon she and her mate would be parents to...well....Winter didn't exactly know how many pups she would have, all she hoped was that they were all healthy. "I know everything is fine with the pack now and all..." Winter began as she shifted on her paws ever so slightly. "but...I think once the pups are born it will begin to get harder to hide from the pack. I mean, I know we're on the very edge of their territory, but what if one day the pups start making noise. The pack is still close enough to hear them." Winter pointed out, finally letting her nerves off her chest.

Skylar could see the worry in his mate's eyes, he came closer and nuzzled her pale colored fur gently, ''it will be harder,'' he gravely acknowledged, ''but I wont ever let anything bad happen to you or the pups,'' he said with steely determination in his voice, ''but also remember this,'' Skylar looked down in her eyes, ''we found a way to become mates and live our own lives, I know we will find a way to live safely with our soon-arriving family.'' He didn't know how they would find a way, he knew his mate had a very valid point, but they would figure it out... hopefully. He could not bear the thought of any harm befalling his mate or their offspring.

Winter nodded. Her mate was right. They had found a way to be together even if they lived their own lives...they could do this. Winter gazed into her mates eyes. "I trust you" She said. "I always have." She added, with a lick to his nose. "Alright, I think I'm ready for my mid day nap" She joked. Winter often took mid day naps as doing a lot of things while pregnant tended to wear her out. "Shall we head back?" She asked as she stood to her paws, swaying a little bit as her belly caused a bunch of weight each time she stood up. "I can't wait until I can stand up without swaying." Winter said with a laugh.
