Silver Creek Do I Know You?

Amber seemed thankful for his words. He didn't like the idea of the children growing without a father, but he also didn't like the idea of a pregnant female going into the unknown. Especially a pregnant female who was his friend. He winced at the harshness of what Spring asked, but she was right. What if the male was just as quick to abandon Amber as he had to mate her?

Sure, she could leave him but she couldn't leave once the children were born. Not without risking them. Winter was around the corner, she wouldn't be able to return home until next Spring if she wanted to. Pups couldn't walk through snow and cold for long, could they? Admittedly he was clueless about the limits of pups, but it sounded like a bad idea.

"You need to check in with us." He burst out suddenly. Then, realizing the demanding nature of his words, he spoke again, softening it. "Once the children are born, or once some time has passed...send someone. Send the male if you can, so we can know who he is." His eyes flashed for a moment, darkly thinking that it'd be better to know the face of who they'd need to hunt down if Amber got hurt. "But send someone to us. If we don't get someone after a certain point we'll know something's up...and we can get you back." He looked to Spring, to see her approval of this.
