Haunted Wood Another Chance

// I love them too <333

Clarence had no idea what Santiago was picturing, but the heady scent in the air was new. The boy had never truly experienced anything like what the dark wolf was picturing - he'd been too young for breeding when he'd escaped, and though he'd seen other dogs and wolves mount one another in dominance, it'd never been for the reasons Santiago might want to do it. And if Clarence did know, if he did ever decide to try that one day, it would certainly take some getting used to. 

A soft, pleased rumble grew in his chest when Santiago nuzzled him, and the boy followed him eagerly. It was getting darker out, and a chill permeated the air. Spring would arrive soon, though, and with it warmth and sunshine and things Clarence had never been able to experience before. It was all new, and he loved it.

The walk to the den was short, and soon Clarence found himself climbing up the stairs to rest in the little alcove Santiago had chosen. Normally, the piebald wolfdog slept in the main den with the rest of the pack, but he thought he liked Santiago's more.

Laying down in the nests the older wolf had created, Clarence rested his head on his paws, tail thumping the ground happily. Safe, secure, calm. They weren't things the boy had experienced much of in his short life, but they were things he found in Santiago.
