Don't let the length of this post dissuade you two lmao. TAT IS HAPPY 4 PUPPIES THAT'S ALL.

No sooner did he begin to chew on his bone did something move within the den. Ears and eyes attuned to the near inaudible movement, Tatsuya caught a glimpse of what stirred within the shadowy lair. Sitamat's utterance – lacking the edge of a wolf full grown – stimulated the Delta: ears flick back and his tail swish, swished against the grass. Playful, harmless, inviting. The sight of Sitamat's rotund head peeking out of the entrance – large baby blues taking him in – made the wolverine's movements lessen.
INDENTTatsuya has never been able to interact with pups. Truly interact with them. One time he approached three of them and ended up running away bloody. Damn milk teeth. To be honest, the Delta did not care for them before joining Tonravik. Only when he knew the she-bear to be pregnant did his curiosity peak. Paternal emotions began to flood him each passing week Tonravik's belly dropped lower and lower. It started out as a trickle, then a stream, and finally a rapid in the cubs' reveal. Now Tatsuya wanted to invest any of his free time into these darling fuzzballs.
INDENTSitamat was more comfortable in the den. Was he diffident? Frightened? Even as the timid cub shied away from the Delta's invitation to eat and play, a different pup had no qualms about leaving the den. It was none other than Pingasut. Tatsuya simpered. She must be so pissed to have a son who looks like a fox. Seeing as Tonravik was a traditional wolf, he could see her being upset over Pingasut's vulpine appearance. Moreover, Pingasut's small body might be another irritant to the boorish Alpha. No doubt all of her whelps had some imperfection. It just so happens Pingasut won the lottery of earning his mother's dislike. I hope I'm wrong. For your sake.
INDENTThe vulpine whelp reassured his sibling and rushed the Delta. The pup's whines were met with happy growls, tail wagging wildly behind him once more. As for the nipping...With those teeth, Tatsuya would rather not take any chances. Aiming to dissuade the pup's nips, the wolverine let out a warning growl. No bites, he said, brandishing teeth to drive home the fact. If Pingasut obeyed, Tatsuya would give him a soothing lick on his forehead. If not, Tatsuya would show him the error of his disobedience.
INDENTRather than gnawing on him, the bistre giant offered the rib bone to Pingasut's merciless teeth. Having worried the bone enough with his own gnashing, it threatened to shatter and yield the delicious marrow within. He tested it to make sure. Yup. Soft enough for puppy teeth. Now sporting a new coat of saliva, he offered it to Pingasut again. Chew on this. You'll like it.
