The days following his rendezvous with @Nyra felt strange. Charles thought he'd be cured. He thought he'd stop having inappropriate thoughts about men now that he proved that he was one himself. As days went by though, it became clearer and clearer to him that it hadn't helped. He tried so hard to prove he was a man that he rolled into something he wasn't sure he was ready for. Becoming a father?! Charles didn't have a father himself, so he didn't have the slightest clue how to be one. All he could hope was that he wouldn't ask to be too involved. Though there was always the thought of running away... Again... But where would he even go?

The coywolf still felt a little sore from what he'd been put through. He wasn't tiny, but hardly large either, and well, Nyra was pretty tall and broad. Nothing like him. The opposite of him, some might say. Was it luck -- good or bad, he left that in the middle -- that had brought her to his side that night, or did she really choose... Him?

And if so, why?

It wasn't that he lacked confidence, but, well, he was just a realist. He wasn't exactly the biggest prize out there, and he'd been called ugly trash enough times to know that he must be.

And oh god, what if she did want him to play a role in raising these pups? And what if they'd grow to resent him like he resented his mother? What if he'd beat them like his mother did? Was becoming that way just part of being a parent?

Determined to get his weird meltdown under control Charles dunked his face in a nearby stream and screamed loudly under water. When he lifted his head again nothing had changed. He only felt better for the seconds his head was actually submerged. Now, he didn't feel better at all. Just wet.
