Sunbeam Lair YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE

♥

Having been a light sleeper since birth, her sensitivity to the noises around her had only increased with motherhood. Always was she meant to be alert, listening when they thought she was not, and watching when it seemed as if her eyes had long since shut. To watch over them and keep each of the girls safe was important, and so, more often than not, she was aware of their presences. That being said, it wasn’t at all surprising when the soft, retreating steps of her firstborn had been enough to wake her. And though she’d been awake, the dragoness had not pulled her daughter back from the entrance. She had laid there instead, watching to see what the girl might do.

The moment Airi had departed from the den, the chieftess lifted herself from the ground and made her way out, careful to not disturb any of the other sleeping forms. It hadn’t been difficult to spot the small, dark wolf against all of the greenery, and so after the girl had Asterr trailed. She did not intend to prevent the hatchling from exploring, but knew that it was necessary for her to remain close by just in case something were to happen.
