Whitefish River Fairytale beginnings

The girls seemed to settle some, but she could tell that Syrma was still a little uncomfortable with the count's presence. She nuzzled them again, lifting her head a little after to smile at Evergreen. Thank you; I'm fond of them, too, she said in response to his compliment about the pup's names.

It was a shame that his presence seemed to be disturbing her daughters, but she figured they would get more used to things as they got older and grew more familiar with everyone. I'm glad  you came by, she said. Everything is so new right now, but I'm sure they'll love you. Speedy was certain they would love all of their packmates. It was hard not to when everyone was so helpful and caring.
