"He was too small for the deer." Raj murmured, barely able to lift his head up from the ground of the Shaman's den. "And he died." Raj stared helplessly in the distance, then lowered his head and laid it against the ground. Bullet nodded, despair growling in his eyes. He walked outside of the den and snarled at himself. "What a horrible Alpha I am. In the last few moons, two Tenderpaws and a loyal Irontooth died. And Reena had a stillborn pup, and everything wouldn't have happened if I was better." Bullet aggressively spat at himself, storming around in a circle. "I'm a pathetic idiot." He halted, and stared helplessly at the ground below him. "I have failed my pack." He sighed, shaking his head. "Falling Leaves is in need of a change. And that change will soon include a much worthy Alpha." Bullet declared softly. "Bullet, please. You're overthinking." A voice whined from behind. Whipping around, he spotted Boom. "Without you, our pack would shatter." Boom's gaze was soft, and Bullet loosen his muscles. But with an angry growl, he tensed them. "Without me, our pack wouldn't have deaths." He lashed. Boom winced, shaking his head. "P...please, Bullet. In this pack I've met Lily, the most wonderful mate. And you met Gabriel, and she just gave birth. Are you about to give everything up so quickly? Especially with everyone counting on you to keep them in check?" Boom retorted, shaking his head. "Please... Bullet. Our pack is depends on your skill and knowledge to keep us thriving." Bullet frowned. "I... I will think about it. Just give me some space, Boom." Bullet mumbled. Boom nodded, and added in a whisper, "please do."
Gabriel affectionately nuzzled her two pups, Sieger and Blitz. Sieger whined, curling into a loose ball. Blitz yelped and squirmed closer to his brother. The other pups in the nursery poked curiously at the new additions, accidentally playing too rough with them. But Reena would be there to obedience them, and her pups would watch from afar. But something was off. Reena would ramble about the 'motherly instincts' you'd get. But Gabriel felt like apart of those instincts were faded. Whatever the reasoning was, Gabriel lacked the urge to protect her pups at every moment. She loved them, yes, but her willingness to care for them was concerning. I'd be Reena who would lather the pups with love while Gabriel would sit back and ponder on why she acted like her pups were nothing more than two extra mouths to feed. She confessed it to Reena once or twice, but Reena had claimed that she was ridiculous, and that it was only her fear that took over. Gabriel didn't know what to think anymore, though. When they were born, a spark of nothing more than adoration flickered in her heart. But within a few days, her love faded until it was nothing more than a dull flame. To make matters worse, soon after the pups were born Bullet was growling on how much of a horrible Alpha he posed as. Gabriel tried her best to make Bullet not feel convinced it was true, but all it did was tear down their relationship the most tiniest bit. Sighing, Gabriel turned over towards Reena. "My life is in shambles." Gabriel confessed, sighing. "Bullet thinks he's not worthy, and I don't love my pups as much as I genuinely want to." Reena shook her head, but then an idea struck her. "Your pups. Bullet admitted to you how he felt as his position before your love for your pups started to fade away. But your pups remind you most of him, don't they? Your thoughts towards your mate are affecting how you see your pups." Reena concluded. Gabriel got struck with a pang of realization. She was right. The names she had given her pups was a reflection of Bullet's name. Names that represented war. Gabriel sat there in silence. And in the longest time, her love for her pups returned.
"Clarity is one weird Tenderpaw." Sage commented softly to Mercutio. "The way she speaks is ironic towards her name. I can barely process what she's saying." Mercutio frowned, not exactly approving of the blunt way Sage spoke about his apprentice. "It makes her unique." He retorted, making the way Sage wanted the conversation to go turn another direction. "Uniqueness and strangeness are different things." Sage barked gruffly. Mercutio shook her head. "Not exactly. Clarity has very pretty eyes and a nice coat. If we had more male Tenderpaws her age, I bet they'd all be fawning over her." Mercutio let out a slight chuckle at his words. "After you spend time with her, what she's saying it easier to comprehend. Give her a chance, Sage." Mercutio spoke, making Sage sigh. "You say whatever you want to say. Viola is much easier to understand and I can teach her way better. Don't tell me if Clarity never becomes a proper Irontooth." Sage grunted. Mercutio growled, immediately fixing his stance into a more challenging one. "Excuse me, Sage? If you don't learn to respect dogs in our bag, would you like to go limping into the Omega's den?" Mercutio snarled, shaking his head. "Because I know for a fact that Clarity respects you more than you respect her. So I don't see why you're able to make the cut as an Irontooth, but not her." Sage froze, speechless for a few moments. "I.. I" He stammered anxiously. "You're?" Mercutio growled. Sage whined, and satisfaction creeped onto Mercutio's face as Sage staggered off.
