Nightshade

Nightshade joined the pack by chance after encountering Umbra on one of her walks. Nightshade is a formidable hunter and is often the one to ensure that all of her packmates are well fed.

Towards the end of her second year, Nightshade had a litter with Xoltol, of which a single pup named Amaryllis was born. Nightshade had always wanted puppies and had approached Xolotl due to his position as stud, neither had feelings for the other but Nightshade knew he'd make a good father.

Nightshade tried to look after Amaryllis by herself but the small pup had several illnesses that kept both mother and pup up all night and Amaryllis wasn't responding to any noises Nightshade made, adding further stress. Out of desperation one night Nightshade went to Glacia, who seemed the perfect parent to Amaryllis whenever Nightshade had to bring Amaryllis to the herbalists den for help, she offered Amaryllis to Glacia as an adoptive daughter. Glacia accepted wholeheartedly and looked after Amaryllis allowing Nightshade the first full night of sleep she'd had in months. Nightshade felt a lot more confident in raising her daughter with Vermillion and Glacia's help; although she does try and tell Glacia to let their daughter find her own path opposed to following in her footsteps. Glacia does understand Nightshade's point of view but simply wants the best for their daughter, while Vermillion remains impartial and wishes his little pup didn't grow up so fast.

Baby mine by Alison Krauss:
Little one, when you play
Don't you mind what they say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine
If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for the right to hold you
