Eagle Crest Hallows [3]

Jackie Yabar

I watch as the two wolfs try and comnacate together, hard to tell what there saying. But my ears perk up when I hear it, it's small but it sounds like heartbeats two of them. I looked to Bran and look for his reaction.

"Please tell me I'm not the only one hearing that! Please tell what I think is true that you hear the heartbeats to!" I said telepathicly to Bran.

Zoey

I don't want to say anything. I don't want to say something I'll regret. Or get punished for. I whimpered and glanced up at San before I sat, and huff. I wanted to run. Just run away. I'm never told what to do...exept by my Alpha. I push Jaem infront of me with my snout and nudge him towards the deer.

Eat, Pup.

Bran

I inwardly smile and come to Jackie's side, nipping her neck.

Two. Two pups.

`````````````````````
San

I study Zoey before picking Jaem up by the scruff of his neck and bringing him to the deer.

She's not feeling well, I lie, We mean no disrespect.

Jaem takes a small bite of the deer and I help him with it, taking a bite as well.

Jackie Yabar

I smile inwardly as happy as I was my stomach quickly reminded me that I needed to eat, I go to the deer as I take large chucks of the deer saving enough for the pup. I needed to eat if I were to have children, and how I wanted to have some. I hear the male wolf spologize about his wife, but ignore it as I let Bran do the talking for now.

Zoey

I watched as my pup ate, so did San. I glanced down at my stomach before thinking.

Not yet. I can wait until the time comes. I tell San before trotting of into our marked sleeping place and shifted to human, changing my Shirt to a tank top and putting skinny jeans on with boots.

I can wait.

Bran

I give a nod to the male and focus on eating, overjoyed by the rhythm of those three heartbeats.

San

I sit back and look at Zoey, watching her with worry. Once Jaem is done eating, I excuse us and carry him back to her. I shift human and take her face in my hands.

"What's wrong?" I whisper, "This is unlike you."

Zoey

San comes up to me and takes my face in his hands as I look at the floor.

"I'm not sure," I start, setting a hand gently atop my stomach. "Are you sure about this? About having another pup?" I ask, just making sure.

San

I'm taken aback by her question.

"Of course," I say, studying her, "Y-you aren't?"

Zoey

I sigh. "I want another pup," I say. "But I just dont really know if we can handle it." I look up at him.

San

"What do you mean?" I ask, not quite understanding.

Jaem pounces on a patch of dandelions and sends the buds flying, sneezing in his wolf form.

Zoey

"Food, shelter," I look at Jaem when saying the next part. "Control."

San

I sigh and look away for a moment, kissing her forehead.

You were fine about this last night. If I knew it bothered you so much... Zo, it hurts me too. It's against every fiber in my being not to have control. But if we're going to focus on family, there are sacrifices we have to make, I tell her telepathically.

Zoey

I slowly nod and sigh. "I know. I was just..." I trailed off. "Never mind." I say, flashing a weak smile.

San

I study her, wrapping my arms around her, and pull her to lean against me.

Tell me, Pup.

Zoey

I sigh, "When is the best time for it to happen? Having the pup?" I ask, curious.
