Bearclaw Valley [M] Blood, Sweat & Tears

short cameo :)

Raziel had been guarding the Valley entrance when the howl rang through the air, it was Scarlett's voice but she did not call for him, but for their formerly absent leader and her mate. It sounded urgent, so the Roman assumed that the birthing had started, or perhaps it was over and she had lost a child or was dying, he would prefer the former. But if it was the latter, she wouldn't have only called for her husband, she would have called for him, the healer as well. So he decided to stay away for now and check on the den entrance later, after his guarding duties was over. After all, she hadn't called for him but for Kove, and although he might not really like the man, he respected the couple all the same and so he decided not to come charging rudely into the scene like he did last time.

But he was not a patient man and he wanted to check on them to see if they were alright. But before going to the den, Raziel grabbed several freshly killed rabbits by their scruff along with a hind leg of a deer they had caught on a pack hunt and began slowly trotting to the den which the couple shared.  The Roman padded forward as silently as he could, ears thrust forward, but all he caught was the soft murmurs of familiar voices and occasionally, the squeals of pups. involuntarily, a smile curved up his lips, Scarlett was safe, Kove was safe, the pups were safe. All was well.

Raziel did not go into the den, for he did not know if the new father would allow him in. If he was the father of the newborn children, he would not let the Inuit in either. It was simply the way of things. He took no offense to it though, instead left the prey he retrieved by the den entrance and quietly left.
