events were good or bad.
"He's taking a brief rest near the caves. Why?" He was increasingly getting the idea that they were asking about the alpha because they knew something bad was going to happen. It would explain their nervousness. It made the big wolf slightly nervous as well. And his answer didn't seem to ease his friend's.
The blonde pup was soon making friends with Nayeli, Tonrar, and Hinto. They got along quite well. So much for being tired, the four of them were soon up and romping around, laughing and running.
"In here!" Tonrar called to his playmates as he and them ran past Kiona into the cave. Kiona was in the middle of getting ready to wake up her mate to talk to her about the newcomer, but the four pups beat her to him. She grimaced when she thought of what would happen should he wake up to another hybrid.
"Meet Daddy! Daddy, wake up!" Hinto cried, pouncing on his father's face. Tonrar and Nayeli joined him while the blonde hybrid stayed back, afraid to go anywhere near the huge black and silver wolf.
Achak opened his sleepy blue eyes to the feeling of affectionate rough housing. And he sleepily sat up with a crooked smile on his face.
The large alpha yawned briefly, smiling down at the three pups as they stood there beaming up at him, their little tails wagging. So much for a nap. There was no way to go back now that the three were here, looking ready to play once more. Chuckling as Tonrar tackled his leg and started gnawing on it, the black and silver wolf gently knocked the pup off and pinned him to the ground with a paw. The red, black and silver pup squirmed, making little happy growling sounds.
"I wonder if I was this bad when I was your age..." Hinto soon charged up ready to join in the fun, attacking his fathers other leg. Nayeli sat nearby, not really wanting to join the rough play, finding it just as fun to watch. At Achak's statement, she cocked her head briefly.
"You were like us once papa?" Since their father was so big, it was amazing to them that he might have been their size.
"Of course, once. And I'm sure all of you will grow up to be big and strong too."
"Even our new friend?" The black wolf raised an eyebrow at that.
"New friend? Who might that be?" From his place still trying to attack the alpha, Tonrar paused, looking towards the entrance. But not seeing the new pup, he ran over to look. Kiona was sitting just outside with the blonde pup, trying to clean him some of the dirt and mud he was caked with. She had grabbed him while Achak was distracted. Maybe if she cleaned him up some, the pup wouldn't seem to...scruffy. Tonrar beamed again at finding the other.
"There you are! Come on, play with us!" he made little excited yipping noises, prancing
in place. His siblings soon joined him, Hinto running and tackled his brother to the ground playfully. Nayeli just walked over to their mother and new friend.
"Momma is he going to stay?" Kiona paused in her task, looking a bit troubled, and sighed.
"We'll see. I have to talk with your father about that..."
"Talk to me about what?" Coming from in the cave, getting louder, as the owner of the voice came closer. The red hybrid felt the nervous knot in her stomach return as she looked up as a shadow drifted over her. There was a silence...awkward, and tense. Then, "...Kiona, what is the meaning of this…!?"
