Hope you enjoy this.

All was peaceful the only noise was the birds twittering in the trees as they roused from slumber and the spontaneous splashes as fish broke the surface of the lake, as the sun rose above the horizon as the light peeked through the shrubs and shone onto the small lake adjacent to the dozing wolves making it gleam and glitter. The adults in the little pack were the first to rouse from their slumber, sluggishly stretching to awaken themselves. Making sure not to disturb the still napping pups they rose to their paws, surveying the area for any dangers at the same time; they spotted a scarce amount of animals dotted about the area but there was nothing to be taken as a risk to them or the pups.

Once they were content that it was secure Erwin and Hanji made their way over to the trifling lake to quench their thirst. Once they had their fill they waded into the callous water to clean themselves before paddling back to dry land and shaking to get the excess water off their dense fur. Once judged dry enough by Levi they settled down once again with the pups while Levi took his turn to clean himself. Levi made his way into the shallowest part, keeping the others insight at all time particularly Eren, even though he knew Erwin and Hanji wouldn't do anything to harm him he was still reluctant to let Eren out of his sight.

Levi sighed as he felt the cool water soak into his fur washing the dried blood that still clung to his paws and fur from yesterday, it had been agony to have the filthy substance staining his pristine fur. Once he was satisfied that he was clean he dried himself before hurriedly making his way back to the small group. Due to the commotion the pups began to wake with squeaky yawns and cute little whines that Levi couldn't help but smile at, damn he loved his pup. He gently picked up Eren by his little scruff and settled him between his front legs and began the ritual of cleaning him, Levi couldn't have his little mate covered in filth and germs.

While Levi cleaned Eren up Hanji wondered of down wind of the pack to look for something to placate their appetite, unfortunately the pups were still to undeveloped to be fed any real food so they needed to get back soon. They couldn't be sure how long it had been since the pups last meal, by observing the deceased mother they had to be unaided for at least a couple days which meant the pups required sustenance soon otherwise there are going to problems, who knows how not getting enough nourishment in the early stage of life could effect the pups in the future.

Once Levi had finished cleaning Eren to his standards of course he snuffled his snout into the pup as Eren started to whine in discontent.

"I know little one, you're hungry but just wait a bit longer," Whispering into the pups fur, not wanting Erwin to see his soft side. Feeling eyes on him he looked up to find Erwin staring at him.

"What"

"Are going to clean Mikasa as well"

"No, you do it"

" I cant I'm bathing Armin"

"So? She isn't my pup, I'm not touching the filthy she pup" Levi spat at the older alpha almost disgusted that he would even suggest that clean freak Levi should bath a filthy pup that wasn't even his.

Erwin sighed and continued bathing Armin has Levi snuggled his face against Eren, ignoring the annoyed look Erwin sent him. Erwin finished cleaning the little blond and gave an absent nod before using his paw to pull the she pup close to him so he could start on her. Hanji could be seen coming towards them dragging her kill with her, once she made it them she dropped the kill a distance away from the pups panting all the while. Levi placed Eren next to the other two little ones before walking over to the fresh kill to have his fill with Erwin and Hanji. Once satisfied Levi insisted that he needed to wash his face while the others simple licked their chops clean.

"You two are fucking disgusting!"

Leaving the other two to look after the pups he made the journey to the lake again to wash staining blood from his jaws. Finished cleaning himself up he turned back to the others only to see the two idiots Erwin and Hanji chatting away with each, not paying close enough attention to the pups for Levis liking.

"Oi dip shits, pay attention" Levi snapped making his way over to them, scanning unconsciously for Eren.

"We are!"

"Yeah whatever" suddenly realization hit Levi he couldn't see Eren with the other two near Erwins towering frame. Panic set in quickly, he frantically ran up to them making sure he wasn't just imagining things.

"Where's Eren!"

"What do you mean he's right here…" Erwins speech died off at the end when he finally looked down to discover that in face Levis little mate wasn't with the rest of them.

"Uhhh"

Levi frantically looked around the surrounding area using all his senses before he finally spotted the little one a few meters away from the group. Levi ran frantically towards him tripping over his own paws in his haste but he stumbled his way back up and towards Eren. Once he reached the way ward pup he immediately nudged the poor thing so Levi could get a better look at him and check him over to make sure no harm had befallen the pup.

He snuffled his small body nuzzling every inch, only when he was satisfied nothing was wrong did he stop and took deep breaths to calm his pounding heart. Feeling overwhelmed Levi collapsed to the ground, as his shaking legs couldn't handle the strain, he curled close to the pup burying his face against the chocolate fur.

"Levi?"

Hanji approached him ignoring Erwins warning to stay away from the frightened wolf. As she got closer to the two figures she came to a stop as Levi let out a low growl from where he was curled tightly around the pup.

"Ok" Hanji replied before backing away so she was stood next Erwin and the other little ones. Levi eventually calmed down but couldn't endure to loose contact with Eren. He picked Eren by his scruff and made his way over to the group.

"Levi, you alright?"

"Hn"

"How'd he get over there in the first place?"

"You weren't paying attention that's why!" Levi snapped towards Hanji after he set Eren down at his paws glaring furiously at her.

"Levi calm down" Erwin boomed trying to calm the situation.

"You know what she meant Levi!"

"I don't know you tell me, you guys were 'supposed' to be watching him" Levi bitterly replied unrest in his voice.

"We were he was there one minute and gone the next"

As they were bickering between themselves Levi felt Eren shuffling around by his paws where he placed him earlier.

"Well that explains a lot" Erwin muttered, specifically looking down in Erens direction.

His muttering caught Levi and Hanjis attention who immediately looked down to find little Eren shuffling around using his chubby little legs to push himself forward almost like a human baby would crawl but he was shuffling along on his delicate stomach.

"You little shit" Levi let out an exasperated sigh but couldn't help but give a little chuckle. He felt a little bit of pride well up in his chest, his Eren was the first to move but anger was also in his heart. He gently nipped the delicate ear to tell Eren off and was rewarded with a high-pitched squeak.

"Don't ever do that to me again you little shit" Levi muttered pressing his snout against Eren.

Now that everything had calmed down and they had all grasped the situation in was mid morning, they decided it was about time they headed for home before any more trouble ensued.

Picking their respective pups Erwin took the lead with Armin; silently they made their way through the dense forest surrounded by the sound of nature and the occasional whine the little ones. After travelling for a few hours with small stops on the way they finally entered the pack territory and each one noticeably relaxed their posture. As they stalked through the territory they took in all the scents around them out of habit, soon they were at packs home and were acknowledged by various members.

As they made their way to the center of the grounds they received questioning stares from the others but no one dared asked due to Levis sour face. An older multi shaded grey wolf approached the trio with a friendly smile, oddly enough he had a darker patch of grey on his upper muzzle making him look like he had mustache of sorts. Erwin was the first to address the approaching wolf.

"Pixis"

"Erwin" he acknowledged.

"I see you brought back some extras from your trip"

"Hn state the obvious"

"Lovely to have you back as well Levi" Levi scoffed and stalked of in a different direction leaving Hanji and Erwin alone with Pixis.

"He's as cheery as ever I see"

"What did you expect from mini clean freak" muttered Hanji her mouth curling at the edges as she smiled slightly at Pixis.

"Hmm. So who are these little beauties?"

Erwin indicated to the little blond pup at his paws and explained the situation that they have found themselves in with him and Levi soul bounding with two of the pups and what they discovered at the scene. Erwin gave a brief but in-depth description about the females injuries and gave him a pointed look that this needed to be discussed further, something was out there something dangerous.

"Well that is an interesting story indeed, I'm sure your tired from the journey ill leave you to get settled in"

Pixis game them both a nod and turned to leave.

"Erwin we'll talk later" before finally walking away.

Meanwhile with Levi

Stupid fucking Pixis Levi absolutely hated that old bastard, who did he think he was. Levi was distracted from the rant in his head when Eren whined in distress feeling Levis negative emotions through their precious newfound bond. Levi found him self unconsciously sending soothing thoughts back through the bond to calm the little anxious one. Once Eren felt all was fine again Levi felt hunger from Eren and suddenly remembered why he came in this direction.

Spotting the female in the distance nurturing her own pup he sped up wanting Eren to eat something and gain what little strength he had back after not feeding for days. Levi thanked his blessing that there were newly born pups like Eren so mothers are still producing milk for the young.

"Taka"

The female turned to the voice that called her and nodded towards the smaller wolf. The she wolf was almost totally a sandy blond almost brown colour with light patches on her chest and soft stomach. As her eyes took him in her face changed to confusion and concern on noticing the small pup in his jaws.

"Levi who's that"

Levi set Eren down at his paws to talk to Taka but kept him close not truly trusting anyone but himself. Eren let a low whine he was placed on the hard but Levi sent soothing thoughts through to his mate and he calmed down. Levi lay down with Eren between his front paws and explained what they had found but left out the non-import details to save himself time and decided to leave out the fact that Eren was in fact his soul mate.

"Of course you don't even have to ask"

"I would do anything for this little cutie" Taka cooed at Eren snuffling his beautiful fur.

"I said feed him not touch him" Levi barked his jealousy and protectiveness getting the better of him. He gently pulled Eren closer to him not seeing his 'friends' walk up behind him.

"Levi"! Erwin scolded him frowning as Levi seemed to pay no attention to him at all.

"That's no way to treat Taka especially after she's kindly feeding Eren for you even though she has a pup of her own to care for"

"Whatever"

"Its ok honestly" Taka softly butted in the conversation she gently pushed her own pup Jean to side slightly to make room for little Eren. Little Jean had dark brown fur down his tiny back almost as dark as Erens, with a dark mustard type colour overall with white lower on his chest all the underneath to the tip of his tail. Jean let out a little whine clearly disgruntled that he was moved from his comfy position against his mother. Once Eren was settled and suckling Erwin and Hanji left to find some one to feed their own pups, it was unfair to ask a mother to give milk for other pups that weren't hers especially when she has her own to feed.

Levi watched contently as Eren fed just glad that he was going to be all right, he felt Erens satisfied emotions through the bond and sent his own back. It was a while before Levi could sense that he was almost finished so he wasn't surprised when Eren detached himself from the she wolf and tried to wiggle his way back to Levi. Levi felt oddly pleased that Eren had turned straight back to him and not lingered near the other wolf.

"Thanks"

"Not a problem Levi when he's hungry just bring him to me"

Levi nodded at Taka before gently picking up Eren and making his way to his own den where Eren would stay with him for the foreseeable future until they out grew it. Levi wondered how the others were getting on with the pup Mikasa and Armin; this was most likely the first night that they had ever been apart from each other.

Unlike Eren Levi never had any litter mates so he had no idea the bond they shared however from other litter mates it sounded like a close strong bond, not as strong as a soul mate bond but it was strong. Wolves have always relied on a pack even Levi had to admit that he couldn't survive with out the close bond all the pack had, they were not bred to be alone in life.

Even though pack were close they had their own dens when they come of age otherwise they stay with their sires. Levi hadn't shared a den or slept with any other pack member really apart from when they went on hunting parties but he couldn't wait to get Eren back so he could make it their home and even though he knew it was wrong he wanted to keep Eren in there forever away from the prying eyes of the pack and the dangers of the world.

Levi ignored the eyes on him and focused on getting to his den without any interruptions, finally he spotted his den and quickened his pace until he was in the security of his home. Levis den was a little different from others due to the floor being lined with various sheets of diverse colours and proportions. Levi being the clean freak that he is found various materials on his travels, so when he was getting a den of his own he went down to the local river and washed them until they sparkled.

He gently laid Eren down on smooth fabric watching fondly as he spread himself like a starfish and wriggled around, Levi decided at that moment that he needed to find more if Eren loved it this much. Levi sat back and just watched fascinated with every little thing Eren did, from his little ears twitching back and forth at any little noise or the way his little wet nose pressed down on the ground firmly trying to take in his surroundings.

Levi lost track of time and didn't realize how late it was until the light that seeped into the den had faded and it was only a distant glow now, from the stars and moon that shone in the dark sky. Levi nudged Eren into the heart of the den and directed reassuring sentiments through the bond. Eren must have sensed the difference in atmosphere, so curled up into a snug ball, which Levi couldn't help but smile at since it just looked like a pile of soft fur.

Levi curled himself around the pup putting his back slightly to entrance to keep Eren from harm if anything was to enter but positioned himself so that he could keep an eye on it as well. Levi was able to touch the tip of his tail with the tip of his nose as he was tightly curled around Eren. He softly nuzzled into him taking the time to inhale his unique sent, it filled him with so much emotion and he wondered how one simple thing like his scent could fill the hole in his heart.

Levi sensed that Eren felt warm and protected in the embrace and was overjoyed when he felt a little nuzzle the fur under his powerful jaws not at all afraid of the sharp set of teeth that lay behind them. Levi nuzzled him right back with just as much love and affection before settling his next to Erens, Levi could get used to this. Levi waited until Eren breathing smoothed out before he let himself succumb to the sweet embrace of sleep with a smile on his usually stoic face.
