Silver Creek Ain’t no mountain high enough

As soon as Laika asked her if she was talking about a who, Spring went dead silent.  She suddenly wanted to tell Laika everything, every bit and piece of her story, but she couldn't, she wouldn't tell anyone her full story, not know at least.  She would tell them the most important part now though.  A sad uff excaped Spring's muzzle.  Although she was unsure to tell Laika everything, she would tell her friend about her pups.  Laika deserved to know.  She had a right to know as Spring's Beta and closest friend.

Her eyes stayed steady, both sadness and guilt echoing in them, but not as strong as before.  The Alpha began to speak.  "I had pups once Laika.  They were named Marlin, Jaycee and Hazel...."  Spring trailed off, catching her breath before continuing.  "Marlin and Jaycee were stillborns, both boys, Hazel wasn't, my daughter lived until the rabies came... then she too perished."  Spring gulped.  "I was too late to save any of them."
