Haunted Wood Shouldn’t have said it

Clarence had been in the pack only a short while when he came across one of the babies. Serem had said they had pups, but he hadn't seen one until now, and she was adorable.  A little brown and black thing with multicolored eyes, crouching outside of the den and playing with a rock.

The boy wagged his tail furiously and padded over, ears angled forward and a smile on his face. "Hi, baby!" he trilled eagerly, dropping onto his stomach in front of her.
