Swiftcurrent Creek the knot

After all, if she was going to be there for any duration of time, she wanted it to feel like a home. The problem was, she was on a budget with no mate to support her expenses.

"I'm busy," she seemed to cry before finally turning to look at the other pack wolf, who turned out to be a rather young, if not adorable green-eyed pup. Her daughter. Gasping, the little red wolf quickly sprang to her feet and shook her head from side to side. "I'm too young to be a mother!" she said with a moan. All she had wanted was a den. Not the entire package deal.
