Relief flooded over the white coated fea as she came to the place she had come to know as home. Even if she had been away for months after months. The last time she had seen her mate was the day after they choosen to be together. Was he still here, did he still want her, and more importantly was he alive? She didn't know why she had left, only that she felt like she had to get away. Misery pack had won for a short amount of time. They had breaken into her soft spot, her heart. They had made her beliver the brute she loved was bad. After along time of figuring out how she felt, what she believed, and being gone so long, she wasn't sure of how her pack would welcome her back.

She couldn't help but feel like she had betrayed them. She was their beta, the alpha's right hand, and she had deserted them. Sure Sensial was here, but being new how much could he help? True there was Saber to help out, but was she up to it? In the back of her mind she couldn't help but wonder if her and Heaven were mates now. Devil wasn't stupid, and she was for sure not blind. Yawning from her long journey home, she decided to rest trying to ignore the way her body ached more than it would have in her normal condition. She was pregnant, with Sensial's pups, who wouldn't before too long be joining them into this world. She didn't seek anyone out, her smell would be a give away if someone came upon it. The only place she was headed too was the den, knowing that whether she was welcomed or not, Heaven wouldn't throw her pups out, and this was the only place she wanted them to grow up.

Once there she dug it out a little, making more to her taste. Then she layed down waiting for the fireworks to start. It wouldn't be long till someone came to investigate. She was nervus, but the fea did well in hiding it. The only one she really wanted to see was Sensial, but she dreaded it all the same. Stretching herself out she kept her eyes at the entrance, ignoring most of the nature sounds, but listening for any approaches. She took time in cleaning her wound while waiting. A misery wolf had attacked her on the way here, and she would of fought back, but with her being in this state, she would of lost. Closing her eyes for a moment she took comfort in the silence, knowing it wouldn't last long. Hell would come soon, and this time she wasn't sure it was her domain...

Sensial lay quietly in the sun. He had become depressed since his mate, Devils Angel, had gone missing. The brute had no clue where she was, if she was fine or even alive. This killed him. He had been keeping his distance from the pack due to his sharpened temper and sad attitude. Sensial felt that he shouldn't burden them with his feelings. A cloud moved infront of the warm sun, causing the land below to grow colder. Sensial stood and looked around. His ear twitched around. No, he hadn't stopped looking. Infact recently he had been searching even more for his lover. Suddenly, he heard Devils voice. The male spun around and started looking around frantically for her, but it had only been his mind, again.
Sensial sighed and turned around again, starting walking along the boarder of the territory. He had been thinking recently... About leaving the pack to find her. The male stopped and stood still for a moment. He lifted his head and looked out past the tree's. A blonde paw lifted and reached outside of the territory's boarder, but was quickly retracted as Sensial smelt someone familiare. His ears perked and tail began wagging as he turned and started running towards the den where Devil was now going to give birth soon. His foot falls were fast and the leaves and branches under his toes snapped and crackled.
Sensial stopped right outside the mouth of the tunnel. He sniffed it and then slowly, made his way into the den to investigate.

The den angled downward from the entrance for about four feet, then made a ninety-degree turn and rose another four feet into a normal sized birthing room. Devil looked up from her light sleeping when she sensed someone coming down into the den. She curled her lips back ready to give a warning growl when she caught scent of who it was. Sensial. At first panic and fear came from her as she wondered what was going to happen, but her emotions finally calmed down to be replaced by joy and excitement. On her journey she had finally realized that she had fallen in love with this brute, and that would never change, which was one of the major reasons she had decided to come back. Now she was about to see him again. She thumped her tail lightly against the ground as her smirk turned into a smile at the thought of seeing him now. The time to talk to her mate was drawing closer and closer with each of his paw steps that brought him to her. Standing to her feet, she moved forward slowly, her swollen belly giving her slight trouble as she moved to greet him when he came into view inside the entrance. Her sapphire orbs were brighter than usual from the tears that didn't fall from them. In all honesty Devil never thought someone could make her feel this way, but right now was proof that it was possible. When she saw his brown muzzle appear she let loose a soft growl. Not a back the fuck off growl, but a happy contented one to show she was glad to see him, as she waited for his whole body to come into view. Oh she knew he would have plenty of questions, but she also knew now wasn't the time. "It's good to see you again. I know you've probably got a lot of questions, but I can't answer them now." She broke off to let him say something, before she continued in a soft voice while trying to nuzzle her body against his and giving him a few licks to the cheek. "You have to go back out, our pups will be born soon." Instincts had told her that the time was approaching, and sure enough when she finished speaking she felt contractions start going through her body in waves. She nearly lost her footing as she clenched her teeth to stop the low whine that escaped from her. Instead of falling, she crunched until she was able to gain a good stance. A single tear escaped down her cheek from the pain to fall upon the ground. Once gaining her footing she looked to Sensial if he was still there to give him a smile, before she made it to one of the corners to stretch out. She watched as Sensial left, and if he didn't she would of started to get paranoid enough that she would of growled for real this time, or would have flashed her fangs in warning. This being her first time her instincts would of completely taken over, which were telling her to be alone, or else her own mind would of allowed him to stay a little longer before making him leave.

-----1 hour later----

She began to pant, as she felt the birthing time come closer as the pain grew and numbed. Soon the first pup was born, it was a white male with a brown muzzle, and some blond flecks around his eyes. Such a fragile being she thought to herself as she brought him closer to her. She cleaned him, till his first breath came, and then soon he was breathing on his own. She moved him to the curve of her belly where he began to nurse. She nudged the second born to her to clean, a light grey fea with brown around her muzzle. She gave her daughter a tender lick on the head before she joined her next to her son. Carefully she brought her third born pup to her, another female that was dark grey with a brown muzzle and blond flecks around her eyes and ears. Devil smiled down as the little pup's paws began to kneed searching for milk. She nudged her to a empty teat to nurse after she was completely cleaned. The next born, a male was completely white. She stared at him as she cleaned him and brought life to his tiny body, and she couldn't help but let the name that came to her mind roll off her tongue. "Aztec..." After a few more heartbeats of watching him she nudged him to nurse at the place where the first born had been, who was now sleeping not far away. Then she turned her attention to the last born, a female, a runt. She took extra care in cleaning her as she stared down at the grey form. Again a name came to her mind, one that rolled off her tongue quicker than the last one. "Desert Rose..." She placed her to nurse next to her brother. The first three had already finished nursing, and where sleeping near each other to gather warmth. She stared at them lovingly and decided to let Sensial name them. Thinking of her mate she let loose a low howl letting him know he could come back in if he wanted too. She knew it wouldn't be long before other pack members came, but for now she could answer his questions while he saw his pups. She placed her head upon her paws as she listened to the puppies while waiting for their father.

Sensial heard Devil growl and instantly was filled with happiness and joy. He moved quicker into the den. When he saw her, he just froze, looking her over. She had grown so large with their offspring. "I do have so many things to ask! Why not now?" He asked, pressing his body against hers. The feelings he felt now were of pure happiness, like he could never be happier. When she spoke again, he felt his spirits sink. "Okay my love." He said softly, turning and worming his way out of the den.
Sensial stood outside of the den, pacing back and forth, wondering what he should do. He was tempted to call for the rest of the pack, but he didn't want them to swarm her with all of their questions, it wouldn't be healthy for her after giving birth, and he didn't want to stress her out. Sensial sighed and stared at the entrance of the birthing den. He lifted his head and pushed a loud strong howl from his lungs, hoping that the pack would be in range.
A little later Sensial heard Devil's Angel giving him the okay to go back into the den. He wormed back in and quickly walked over to her, whining softly from his pent up happiness. He softly licked and nuzzles his mates face then looked over at his babies. He felt himself grin, then remembered the questions. "Why did you leave?" He asked almost instantly, turning his head to look at her.

His words cut through her causing her a little extra pain, but she couldn't answer him then. It took all she had not to howl in pain right then and there from the contractions. She gave him a small smile when he agreed to leave, simply to let him know she was sorry and glad to see him. She had heard his howl, and knew now that it wouldn't be long before Heaven and the others showed up. At least they would wait for her permission to enter, and she would never have more than one wolf at a time with her, and it wouldn't be many. She only had two other wolves she would let come down here other than her mate. When her mate came back in she raised her head, to give him a smile. Returning his lick, she watched him knowing it wouldn't be long before curosity over came the new father. He saphire orbs looked away from his black orbs for a moment after his question. They lowered upon the pups as she tried to make up her mind on whether to tell him or not. If she didn't want to, surely he wouldn't persist? She couldn't help but hear all the excited whines and barks that came from above, but she did her best to ignore them for now. That was drama for later. Finally, after a few heartbeats she looked back to him as she spoke. "I had some things I had to think about, things I wasn't sure about, things that were bothering me, and some problems from the past. Can we leave it at that for the moment...I'll explain, but later, okay?" Her voice was soft as she changed the subject. "Those three, the ones curled up together, I want you to name them...The littlest one is Desert Rose, and the pure white one is Aztec." The wound on her right hip was starting to bother her again, and she knew from so much moving around that it was probably bleeding again, but with the blood smell from the birth, she doubted that Sensial would notice, she hoped he didn't at least. She didn't want to seem weak, it had never been something she liked.

Heaven had already been on his way when he heard the howl. He had found Devil's scent, but now he knew everyone would be coming due to the howl. Coming to the den, he came a little closer to the entrance to sniff. He was rewarded with four healthy pup scents, along with both of his beta pair scents. It wasn't long before the other olves and yearlings showed up. Azeral excited at the idea of her 'aunt' Devil being back went a little too close to the den entrance that she got a warning growl from Heaven, who was making sure no one was crowding there. Soon he sent the younger members off farther in the clearing to play, relax, or chat until they were needed. Cobalt left to go get some meat from a recent kill for Devil. Heaven was watching out for Saber's arrival wondering how the gamma female would react.
