Zane POV

It's been 3 weeks since Humphrey ran me over, and since then my paw has healed, and I now have three new pups. 1 boy and 2 girls.

The boy has reddish brown fur with a little but of black mixed in, with blue eyes. His name is Thorn.

The eldest of the pups, which is a girl has stunning electric blue eyes, and all black fur, with one paw being white. He name is Leila. The youngest of the three being my other daughter, has green eyes, and a mixture of black and white fur. Her name is Emerald.

They all get along with their eldest sibling, Krystal. Who is now mated to Shadow and is showing rather well.

I have accepted she is growing up and starting a family of her own, but it is still difficult because I am her father. She has even accepted Zara as her mother, and has been calling her by mom, and such now.

I am happy my family is one now. No more psycho ex to ruin things.

"Dad?" I hear a small voice behind me. I turn and see Leila. "Yes Leila?" I ask as she sits by me.

"Why are you out here, and not in the den with us?" She asks as I look at her. She is most certainly a smart child. "Just enjoying the sun set is all."

"Oh, mind if I stay out here with you?"

"Not at all." I say and rub her head my paw. "Daadd. That's my hair!" She laughs and shakes her head to fix it.

I laugh as well. She was very cute at times, a pain at others, but a great pup to be honest. I couldn't be prouder of my family. "Oh, come on, you know you love it." I say as I do it again.

"Stop!" She laughs and pulls her head away and scoots over some. "I can still reach you." I joke and extend my paw. "Daddy." She squeals as I tickle her a little with my tail.

"Time for diner." I hear my mate say so I stop tickling Leila and help her up. Then we head inside. I sit down and see a caribou carcass. "I really hate scraps." I complain.

"Well, if the hunting parties would stop bickering all the time we'd have food."

"Again? Tomorrow I'm going with them, so we actually have food for once." I say and pick at the scrap pile on the floor.

"That is a good idea." Zara says picking at the scraps, along with our pups. I hated seeing my young ones eating scraps, so I turn to exit the den.

"I will be back shortly." Is all I say as I walk out, and to the hunting grounds. I see a few caribou and know if I move fast I can get all of them. I count 4, but watch just in case. Then I slowly move towards them.

I leap from the grass and latch onto a caribou then jerk my head splitting it's throat. Then I jump onto the closest one and do the same. After a moment I find the others still not far away. They had stopped running and were grazing once more.

I slowly sneak up then pounce when I'm close again. Latching on I quickly bring one down and make ground on the other fast. I leap onto it's back and bite it's neck holding till it stops struggling.

He lets go, then drags them together. Lifting two on his back then dragging two in his mouth. He returned to camp just as the others arrived for diner.

Then he dropped two off for the pack then took one to where he knew Humphrey, Kate, Garth, Lilly, and their pups were. He set it down then left before words could be spoken.

Then he returned to his den and walked in with the caribou. "This is what we should be eating." I say setting it down.

They turn to look at me and see the fresh food. The pups faces light up and they ran to it."Dig in." I say.

"Zane, you didn't have to." My amazing mate says. "Yes I did, what I didn't have to do was get food for everyone else too, but I did."

She gave a soft smile. "You always have cared about others." She says.

I nuzzle her then begin to eat. After we are done, I move the left overs to a small area. Then we lay down to sleep for the night.

(Later that night)

I awake to a whimper and see Leila awake and crying. He nudge her with my nose t get her attention. When she notices I'm awake she hurries to me and hides her face in my fur.

Then I see the flash of lightning, and shortly after the roar of the thunder. I realize that is why she is scared. "Hey, don't be scared it's just thunder. It won't hurt you in here." I whisper to her.

Her face still hidden in my chest. I rub my paw down her back to calm her down. Soon her whimpering stops and her breathing slows. She fell asleep.

I lay my head to the side but don't fall asleep. I open my eyes again, and look at my family. A small smile crossing my muzzle. "Perfect." I whisper, so I don't wake them.

How life turned out this way, I do not know. Why I was forced to suffer for so long with everything I went through before I do not know, but what I do know is I am Triumphant. Life has knocked me down, but every time, I got back up and fought back. I have Triumphed everything life has thrown at me, and I will continue to do so...
