How can a thread be so happy and sad at the same time? :(

To Damien's surprise, Meldresi allowed him closer to the pups, and Damien didn't waste a minute to do so. Two steps forward and Damien was close enough to lick his new siblings' heads. He didn't though, they were two smelly and wet bundles, which wasn't appealing at all. The male remembered seeing Scarlett's children back in Bearclaw Valley, and remembered how unimpressed he was at those. It was similar with these, and after a moment of sniffing around and taking a good look, Damien too, departed the den, but not before giving his mother a loving lick to her chin. Burke was ignored, and Damien returned to his own business to leave mother to rest.

From this day forward, there were two more lives Damien had to look out for. It didn't matter to him if Burke stayed to raise them unlike his own father, or if he had to risk his life to protect the twins, his own littermates and his mother. They were his family, all that really mattered to him, and he felt an obligation to keep them safe. Burke was a whole another deal. He was an adult, and he could take care of himself without Damien's help.
