Redtail Rise basshunter

Arielle had fallen asleep with both boys tucked against her, bellies full as they drifted to sleep themselves. Her energy had not returned once the children were born. Instead of growing life sapping everything from her, now it was the dark, churning turmoil in her heart. She cared for her sons, of course, giving them everything and anything they needed. She loved them more than she could have imagined. Losing her daughter had made her want to keep them close and protected for as long as possible. 

She woke to the sound of tiny, angry puppy barks. The absence of the two warm, little bodies made her sit up instantly. Both boys were near the den entrance, in a beam of sunlight. Atreus was angry with Ancelin for some reason, though he always seemed discontent about something. 

Arielle got to her feet and moved over to the pups. She plopped herself down right next to them, careful not to block the light. She reached over and licked Atreus' angry little face. What has upset you? she murmured softly before reaching over to nuzzle Ancelin. She knew her words would not be understood, but she hoped the soothing tone would be.
