Totoka River I said I didn't feel nothing baby, but I lied [18+]

For @Valentine backdated a day

He had lain awake holding his children for several nights, his thoughts keeping him awake. Aliac was gone. She had been injured and had ran away from the pack. Why had she done that? It made so little sense to Sunny even though he tormented himself desperately trying to figure out a reason that made sense and failing every time. It made him more angry with every failure and he needed to release it somehow. He tried hunting, filling a whole new cache in two days. He tried fighting and fell asleep only to be scared awake by nightmares. He tried biting himself, punishing himself for not going after her sooner. There was nothing. So instead he tucked the pups in and while they slept he snuck away, hoping isolation would clear his mind.
