Stone Circle In the middle of Summer

The man looked to Kegana as she spoke, but stayed still as Arlette played with his paw. He was silent and rigid as he was afraid to hurt the young pup due to their vast size difference; one wrong move and he could end up squishing her. He had hoped Kegana would catch onto his uneasiness and lure the girl away to herself, but was met with a laugh.

"I think you are her new favourite."

Greyback looked down at the now dead weight on his paw and let out a sigh of relief as Arlette was now asleep. She looked so small on his paw, nearly fitting on the whole thing. It was amazing how quickly her energy had turned, but not unbelievable as it happened to most pups. "Yeah.. ," the older wolf whispered, his voice soft as he was careful not to wake her. "I think so too,"

Greyback never had a chance to care for his own pups, and though he was not the girl's father, he relished in the feeling of now being a caretaker. He would do everything possible to protect her and her siblings. Lowering his head down, he nuzzled the ball of white fur with his cheek, sparing her a look of fondness before looking at Kegana with the same expression.
