Stone Circle Don't Eat Me Mama Bear

Steady slowed to a halt beside her, holding himself with the highness of an alpha and just as pleased as she was that he was gone. The Ciel picked up on his playfulness as he circled her victoriously, her own tail sweeping the earth behind her; she even dared to send a gentle swipe of her forepaw his way, chuffing happily in her throat -- she felt closer with the dark man from their camaraderie, feeling a closeness she hadn't since getting to know Heston and Grayday -- in congratulations to them both on protecting the family.

His thanks rang in her ears and warmed her heart, and it reflected in the soft whine that broke her lips.

                "Of course, Steady. You've given my family a safe home and a family to help them grow. I'd protect this place with everything in me to repay you for that."

The ocean-eyed woman meant every word that came from her maw, a bright smile lighting up her dark frame. He also asked how he was doing, and his obvious care for each member struck Amber deeply.

                                             "We're doing great, Steady. Sunny and Dawn get stronger every day: you're more than welcome to come see them whenever you want."

Steady was one of the few she knew could be trusted around her cubs, and was sure Grayday would feel the same. There was one question that came to mind that she felt was a good time to ask. Loathe as she was to take her pups out of pack territory for a very, very long time, she wanted Spring, Natashe and Heston to see the pups: they were the only family she had outside the pack, that she knew of, and she wanted Sunny and Dawn to grow up knowing every one of them.

                                                                                             "I've been wondering: would it be possible to send someone to the Creek to tell my family the pups have arrived? My sisters would probably want to meet them, if you'd allow them to the borders."
