Zane breathed a deep breath and walked up. He walked up and looked
at the females. He walked over to Scarlet and put his paw on hers.
He then quietly said," You're safe this year." He said it quietly
so no one else could hear.
Scarlet was shocked. She thought she'd be chosen last. She smiled a
bit at his words. She was safe. But she shuddered. She still had to
have pups. She walked in front of him, entering his den. Rose
padded to Grey, looking down.
Rose glanced at Grey. "Thank you." She whispered, smiling. Scarlet
gave Zane a sad look. "But you know we still have to. For the sake
of the pack." She responded, shifting her weight.
"I don't really buy that. There are so many other couples. Besides,
I don't think it's physical possible. I mean, I normally deluver
the pups and I'm the only healer so...." Zane said. He sat down,
not sure what to do next.
