"Papa, papa get up!" Legolas groaned, feeling a familiar ball of fur running around him and yelling in his ears, again. "Come on papa! You gotta get up!" Legolas groaned once more and lifted his head off the ground, yawning while he did so. "Yuck, very stinky breath!" the auburn wolf smacked his lips multiple times before finally asking "What is it Alas, do you have to go again?"
The little wolf pup shook her head "No papa, I heard something outside, I went to see what it was and saw a really big monster! It was in the air and-," the little cub almost started to cry, she looked so frightened. "I'm sure it was just an eagle or-," Legolas' sentence was cut off "No, this thing had like four wings! And it sounded loud! Louder than a wild eyed grizzly!" Legolas stretched and yawned once more "alright I'll go check it out, you stay here with mom while I'm gone okay sweetie?" the auburn wolf petted his daughter's head and went to the exit of the small den.
Aleu woke up Just as he left "mmm, Legolas? Honey where are you going?" her mate didn't answer, as he was too far to hear her. "Papa's going to check out the monster outside." the little brown pup explained to her mother. a little pup's ears perked up. "M-m-monster?" the pup cried, curling up into a ball and hiding under his mother folded front paws, shaking with fear. "Oh don't worry Togo, you know there's no such thing as monsters." Aleu said trying to sooth and comfort her pup. "Alas you know how your brother is."
"Sorry Togo, I didn't mean to wake you up." the little gray cub poked his little head from his hiding spot, meeting his mother's warm tongue brush across his head. "you're such a baby togo, you know that?" another wolf pup walked up. "Blade! Stop teasing your little brother." the little black and white wolf scoffed. "whatever, I'm just trying to say he needs to grow up, that's all."
"He will, growing up takes time son." Aleu sighed, being a mother of three wasn't easy. Sure her mother had six, but she had to give them all away. Here she didn't have to, she could raise them with their father and make them to be great wolves. She and Legolas mated not long after they confessed their love for one another. Their first pup; blade, with a color coat of onyx black, with a little patch of white on his chest and front paws, only his right leg's white reached up to his elbow.
The twins Togo and Alas, were born about a year later. Togo's coat was a brown with the markings of his father. Alas' coat was dark red with markings like her mothers. "I checked everywhere and there isn't a monster anywhere…" Legolas crawled back into the little den of five and placed himself in a comfortable position. "I've told some of the other clan members to be on the look out if they found anything suspicious. But I doubt they will."
Alas walked up to her father and snuggled into his warm chest "But papa-," Legolas sighed, taking his paw and petting his young. "Sweetie just let it go, you might scare your brother." turning over to see his mate and two sons. "pop I want to start learning how hunt!" Blade said eagerly. Hearing this the parents chuckled. "You're quite the tough one aren't you Boy?" Aleu smiled licking her pup on the cheek. "Moooom. I'm not a pup anymore." the black wolf blushed in embarrassment "You'll always be my pup, no matter how old you are Blade."
The family were very close to one another, Blade was always the strong tough type. Togo was the scared and shy type, a mama's boy. All of which his older brother didn't like. He thought boy wolves should always be tough and strong, so he took it apon himself to one day train him to come out of his shell. Alas was adventurous and curious. A bit of a daddy's girl most of the time.
Aleu sighed and looked down at her twin pups nursing on her. "I'll go get something for Blade," Legolas started to get up but was stopped by his mate "No I'll go, I need to work my stiff muscles out anyway." Aleu got up and walked out the den. "Aw but mama, I'm hungry!" Togo whined. "You aren't going to nurse on mom forever Togo." Blade nudged his brother "He's right son, you're beginning to teeth now and its about time for you to eat meat."
"Trust me, you'll love it, its so juicy and tender!" Blade continued trying to convinvce Togo that this was a good thing. "I'm up for something new!" Alas giggled, pouncing on Blade forcing him on the ground "Hey! That's it!" the two pups began to wrestle, laughing, playing tag. All but togo who was just sitting there watching his siblings have fun.
Legolas having notice this decided to step in "Hey son, why don't you play with your brother and sister? It'll help you get stronger when you grow up to be big and strong." he ruffled his sons head "I'm afraid someone will get hurt…" Blade pounced on his little brother trying to make him join in on the fun. "Come on, show some backbone for once."
