Blackfeather Woods You're just like me

Back to real life, Damien also returned to his family, with whom he'd realized he had neglected by trying to focus on not being devoured by depression ever since Meldresi's death. It was ironic that it was Damien now the one who abandoned his family, but at least he was making an effort to avoid it. He stepped into the clearing close to midnight, silent and watchful to make sure Burke wasn't around tonight. Damien's keen eye caught a body moving close to the den's entrance, but he soon identified it as Pietro's slender figure walking back inside. Damien was quick to follow, and reached to doorstep just in time to see Pietro licking his sister's head lovingly.

Damien's head was low as he leaned out from the entrance. It was spacious inside, just the thing Burke and the pups deserved, and could even house another small adult if needed. It would have been for Meldresi, but that thought was quickly pushed aside as were all the sad thoughts in Damien's quick mind.

"Get up guys, there's something I wanna show you." whispered the dark male, whose silhouette was hardly visible in the moon-less night. He said no more, and awaited for the twins to come just outside the den, looking back and forth anxiously, and hoping Burke didn't pop out of the shadows.
