Redsand Canyon My heart has teeth.

Soon the pair of them was curled around one another. Towhee let Maxim settle, keeping her head raised for a moment to gaze at their sleeping children over the slope of his back. She felt a hitch in her chest. She loved all three of these wolves with her whole heart, which any one of them could easily shatter.

Eventually, her chin drifted to settle on the peak between her mate’s shoulder blades. Sleep did not come easily. Towhee was happy and scared in equal measure as she acknowledged how much she had to lose. She was certain that she would lose it all, one day.

Until that day came, she would try to enjoy the hell out of every minute with her beloveds.

I couldn’t help but think of this song while I was writing this post, lol. Thanks for the thread!
