    To spite her hopes, winter had once again reached Sverige. The harsh cold kept her confined in her den. It had always affected her to the point of pain so she stayed inside and around the fire. With little to do, she practiced her magics. It amused her greatly to conjure an orb of fire and then manipulate it with the wind. She made wisps of flames fly out in all directions and every now and then would put out the fire completely just to relight it. 
<br>
    Her game grew boring though, maybe a nap would pass the time. She wished Shin was home but he was probably out on patrol or something. She yearned for him, for his touch, his presence, his half smile. In the past few weeks, she had felt different. Something inside her pulled her towards him. She wanted to be with him. She giggled to herself in a shy kind of way as the thought of what he had whispered in her ear a while ago crept back into mind. Thoughts of pups drifted through her imagination. What would it be like to be a mother? It certainly would be a learning experience, it's not like she had an example. However difficult it may be, she had given it much thought and she wanted them. Something inside her told her that she wanted them. The hardest part was talking to Shin about it. She always got so embarrassed and shy. 'Oh well, she thought to herself, 'I guess I can wait till he brings it up.'
<br>
    She curled up in a ball and tucked her nose under her tail. She would rest until her mate came home and she could cuddle with him.

He took a little detour to the pack's food store to drop off his kill- an old fox that had obviously seen better days. He left it there, untouched apart from his bite marks, and headed off to his own den, hoping to see his mate there. After taking a massive gulp of water from the lake, he headed in, stopping at the mouth to quickly dry his fur, thinking of his mate's aversion to water. He took a deep breath of her spicy scent and smiled. She was home.

After taking care of his fur and throwing the water he'd collected from himself outside, he padded in quietly, making sure he wouldn't wake her if she was asleep.</td>

The mouse which gathers up grain, the deer who cut paths through the forests.

    Visions of pups danced through her dreams. Each one a different combination of color patterns and skill sets. In times past such a dream would be overwhelming but now she welcomed it and embraced the hazy pups. All at once the pups ran off excitedly greeting their father, and though she was asleep she knew he was home. Her extra sensitive nose had picked up on his scent and he had invaded her dream. 
<br>
     Slowly she lifted her head one blinked a few times. ”Shin..” she breathed out after a yawn. It wasn’t a question she knew it was him, it was more of a sigh of relief. She stood and stretched and greeted him, burying her face in his chest. Her antlers had fallen off a few days ago. At first she had been alarmed but she had come across a few deer and it seemed the same had happened to them so she assumed it to be normal. It was rather convenient when it came to close contact. She’d hate to spear him when trying to give him a hug and she loved how close she could get to him. Time stopped when they embraced. Nothing mattered. It was just the two of them, the only sounds were the sound of their unison breathing and the gentle rhythmic thud of his heart against her ears. She lifted her face only to whisper, ”I missed you.” and to give him a lingering lick on his cheek and returned to the hug.

    She smiled and looked up at him, her black eyes shining against the light of the fire. ”There’s nothing I want more.” She returned to her place but left room for him to lay beside her. Her heart leapt and fluttered in her chest. Nothing in life was as comforting to her than to be snuggled up close to him. All her cares and worries melted away and it was just the two of them locked in a loving embrace. She wished there was a way that she’d never have to be away from him. That the moments they shared cuddled together would last forever.

    Her heart sank a bit when he mentioned Keita. It wasn’t that she had anything against her, in fact it was quite the opposite. It was just that Vuple had hoped that Shin would pick up on her mood and the mention of their alpha was kind of a mood killer. But that wasn’t a big deal, just being close to him was enough for her. He rested his head against her shoulder and she took this opportunity to show him affection buy gently grooming his fur. 
    ”Oh? What about?” she spoke softly and concealed the fact that she would rather be talking about other things.

    She continued to groom him as he spoke, though at the mention of mating, she stopped and her heart skipped a beat. It seems she was not the only one with pups on the brain. She had wanted to talk to him sooner but had never gotten around to it. 
<br>
    She brought her nose down to his, looking deep into his eyes. ”Well…” she said in a low husky whisper, ”What did she say?” It crossed her mind that it was ridiculous that they had to ask permission for such an intimate act, and it slightly embarrassed her that such a topic would be shared with more than just the two of them but that didn’t matter at the moment. All that mattered was his next few words which she waited for with baited breath.
