Dawnlark Plains What does this mean?

@Aditya
It had only been a day since the news of Day's death had hit the pack. Though it happened the day before it was only truly hitting Pema now. She had gone off away from the others with quickened breath and in a state of unfamiliar panic. In some way yesterday she still thought that he was there, but she would have to learn now that he was gone and that she was now left alone to run this pack. She would have the help of others for sure but it wasn't the same.

She stopped in her tracks and crouched down. She felt a pain in her stomach. A cramp mixed with the feeling of grief. She would be having her pups soon and she wouldn't be able to leave them. Let alone the stress that this would no doubt cause on her unborn children.
