Puppy Stage: Naming the First Daughter
Alastor and Surreal argued for days about how they should name their daughter. Equniox was thrown out by her father, a traditional name from his old pack. Morragean her mother countered would give her daughter the strength she needed to survive. Hinata, who had been putting up with the twos squabbling, and Scyth, who was eager to begin his role of pupsitting, pushed the two away from the den to go sort out their problems. “And don’t come back till you have a decision!” the two males growled out at their leaders.
Taken aback both Surreal and Alastor begrudgingly walked to the outcropping of rock which had a clear view all the way down to the valley below their mountains. Neither of them spoke for a while. Sitting in silence, Alastor looked to the stars as he used to do. Under his breath, he began naming them as his old pack had taught him.
“You know you trace their patterns with your nose when you do that,” Surreal’s voice startled the male. He stilled and looked over at her, the gentle smile in her eyes made him realize the last time he had seen her like this was during their courting days. But not recently. This caused a frown to furrow his brow.
“You said the same thing to me once,” he walked over to his leader, bumping her shoulder with his, “I did say I would teach you one day.” He looked away from her, guarding his emotions. She sighed when he did that and he could feel her eyes move away from him as she began looking at the night sky again. “Would you still like to learn? About the stars I mean?”
Surreal smiled at Alastor’s suggestion and the two of them spent more time than intended with their muzzles tracing the story stars. Eventually, both leaders returned understandablly weary but satisfied. When they looked at their sleeping daughter they knew exactly what to name her.
