"Why are you acting so kindly?"
She asked, now looking him directly in the eye. She was rather curious and even if he decided not to answer, it was alright with her. "I mean afterall, you've never been one to show any kindness toward me considering you hate me." She said. She gave another tired yawn as she laid her head on her paws and listened for his response.

Shifting in his seat on top of the rock, well over the female dire's head, Torrent managed to maneuver into a laying position, crossing his forepaws out in front of him and curling his tail over his haunches. He paused a moment, running his tongue over his muzzle a moment before sharing a yawn with his omega.
"I'm not being kind to you. The future of my pack could depend on the life in your belly and that's all I really care about."
Waving one paw nonchalantly, he turned his golden gaze out toward the dark forest that stretched downward behind him.
"Once the pups are grown, I expect you to vacate my premisis... but until then, you are to remain at this den and care for your offspring. There is a watering hole down that way and plenty of squirrels run about through these trees. You should have no reason to leave..."

(Torrent's so cute. :3)
"Once the pups are grown, I expect you to vacate my premisis... but until then, you are to remain at this den and care for your offspring. There is a watering hole down that way and plenty of squirrels run about through these trees. You should have no reason to leave..."
She nodded, it'd be a good time to recover. "Don't worry, I don't plan to stay here afterwards anyway." She said. She then stood, and began to walk back inside the den. She yawned again and laid her head on her paws. Torrent's action greatly confused her, but considering they were only a pack of three, she could kind of see why he would spare her and the pups. She sighed, then whimpered a little, feeling a slight pain in her abdomen.
(I think I'll have them born he since there's no real reason to make another board.)

((Isn't he? I gots to get some model sheets done for him. I really want to animate him. ^^))
Scoffing lightly, the dire wolf got to his feet again, walking in a circle before laying down a second time. This rock was not a very cozy one and he was having some trouble finding an effective position in which he could get some rest. Stupid Sinopa, taking his cozy, comfy den... but it was for the best of his pack. The better the pack looked, the better he looked and the more wolves for him to control. It was a promising thought, the number of lackeys under his claw increasing four or five fold. It was honestly enough to make his tail wag a bit... but he managed to catch it before it got out of control, settling the fluffy appendage back down beside him.
Grumbling to himself about bed rock, the alpha male eventually gave up, leaping from his perch and finding a cozy spot at the rock's base, turning in a circle before plopping down with a sigh, his legs stretched out in front of him and his chin resting on his paws.
((Makes sense...))

As time went by, the pain grew worse and worse, a sharp and strong pain piercing her body. She began whimpering and whinning more, shifting and turning while trying to get into a more comfortable position. Her body began to shake as she felt the contractions grow stronger. A few hours later, after many howls of pain and momments of rest, there were four pups beside her.
(Now it's time for the sad part.)

Torrent had to literally cover his ears with both paws to block out the noise from the den. Made him glad to be a male... However slight it may have been, he had to resist the urge to investigate. Not for the safety of Sinopa, though he had to admit her death would not be a benefit. No, he worried for the offspring's sake. Since Fanglick was nowhere to be found, Sinopa was the only breeding female he could rely on and a problem of any sort could mean doom for the Indoc dires.
Still, despite his arrogant nature, the male dire got to his feet slowly, taking his time to stretch a bit before strolling over to the cave entrance to check on things. He had no idea what he'd do if something was wrong but that was only a minor detail...

Sinopa laid there, panting tiredly. For a moment, all other outside things were deaf to her senses. Then she looked at the little bodies beside her. At first, nothing seemed wrong, but upon closer inspection you could tell that three of the pups were dead and only one was alive. Completely ignoring Torrent's presence, she started to panic nudging her stillborn babies. She whimpered and whined as if any of it would wake them. "No....." She muttered, tears starting to form.

Casting a shadow from his place in the doorway, it took Torrent twice as long to realize that something was a miss. From where he stood, it looked like the picture perfect image of a female wolf and her pups. However, the bitch soon became frantic and the alpha male became confused. Raising one eyebrow skeptically, he decided to enter the den in an investigative manner, strolling over to the wolves hesitantly. The plight became obvious at only half way but the dire wolf closed the distance anyway, just to be sure, giving the dead bodies a casual sniff himself before muttering a curse under his breath.
"Damn..."
Well, so much for pack future and all that crap...

She moved the only living pup closer to herself and covering it with her tail, emitting a low growl, her maternal instincts kicking in completely. She didn't want him there, not now. The only few thoughts that reached her clouded mind were that of hate, damning Faust for bringing her so much pain and then at herself for being in such bad shape when the pups needed her the most. She didn't want to lose this one pup, she didn't want anymore pain than was necessary. The fur on her neck bristled as she began to snarl a little at Torrent, glaring him straight in the face.

Inexperienced with this sort of thing, Torrent initially ignored the female's growls, trying to discover what had killed the pups so quickly. In the back of his mind, he feared something contagious like a disease or poison from something. However, it was clear that was not the case. Eventually, blame fell upon the sire, the big blue hound that had caused all of this ruckus. Somehow, he had done this, though the foolish young dire didn't know why or how. He was just jumping to conclusions at a really bad time.
Looking up, golden gaze met azure and the message finally passed through the male's thick head. However, rather than being an intelligently respectful alpha, he simply growled back. Not only was this his den she was using but it was his pack that she lived in. There was no way in hell he'd simply be kicked out of his own home. Baring his teeth momentarily, Torrent met his omega's threats with his own, raising his tail and ears, his own fur bristling and his eyes never breaking contact. Only when she backed down and his dominance was assured, would he dare to walk away.

She would have stood or lashed out at the young alpha, it was obvious he was rather inexperienced with this sort of a thing, but she was tired and sore for labor. She just continued to growl and keeping eye contact, her own stubborness and instincts would not let her back down. She growled alittle louder and snapped at his muzzle, but did not get up at all. She didn't want him near the only pup left. She was scared that he would hurt her or worse, eat her considering she was small enough to make for a little snack.
(I knew Torrent would do that. XD)

((OMG I'm actually gonna post with the actual character being played! X3))
Torrent was not put off by the female's stubborn disposition. First off, he'd been expecting it. That was probably her strongest and greatest personality trait, that never back down style of handling things. Still, he would never, and I mean never, let his dominance be challenged, not even by a female with offspring. he didn't care who she was, she was a subordinate of his and should show him submission at all times. Barking angrily, he aimed a bite, not a snap, at Sinopa's top jaw, hoping the grab the protrusion in his teeth and hold it as a sort of warning to mind her manners.

Seeing he was attacking, she simply lost it, more afraid for her pup than herself as she herself opened her jaws wide to bite him back on his cheek. The pup was now in even more danger, what with Ino being so worked up that she had not given her a chance to nurse and with a possible fight about to break out there was a chance of the pup being hurt. "Get away from my baby!" She creamed, eyes wide with fury. (OMG! *gives River a treat*)

((Yay! *nibbles* :3))
Having been in the midst of his own attack, Torrent had no time to dodge, the female's teeth taking hold of his cheek fur. Luckily, it was only fur and he tore his head away with ease, stepping out range of her fangs and giving his head a shake before turning his golden gaze upon her. Brown and cream muzzle was tensed into a snarl, his fur bristling in all direction.
"You little wench! I lend you my den and off you my protection and this is how you repay me?"
Crouching, a bit in preparation, the dire wolf practically screamed in the female's face. How dare she treat him like this? Shows you how well others take it when you decide to be kind to them. And then they turn around and wonder why you're such a jerk all the time. The nerve of them... all of them....
"I'll teach you to show such insubordination!"
With that he charged the golden furred wolf again, his teeth still barred and his eyes on her throat. Though she'd have to go pretty far for him to actually take her life, he was not about to be taken advantage of.

She heard none of his words, ears flat against her head as she growled once more and stood, as quickly as possible on her weary legs , infront of her pup. She waited for a momment to get as much strength as possible before leaping at him, aiming for his muzzle now with as much strength and fury as possible.

As expected, the female went for his face, head and neck area, a common mistake he'd made many times and one he knew how to counter. Waiting until the last moment, the male dire lifted his head up, moving backward a bit and rearing onto his hind legs to keep both his neck and his forelimbs from her jaws from, taking advantage of his higher vantage point, he tried to come down on her with his forepaws, aiming to knock her over with a blow to one shoulder. He may be inexperienced when it came to females and their behaviors but he'd long ago learned to fight, a necessary evil when you have a bunch of older brothers bullying you every five seconds.

It was rather easy for him to get at her considering she wasn't really thinking at the momment. She gave a yelp as she was pushed to the ground but she made sure not to be pushed back. She turned her head and began biting at his forelegs, growling and snarling not yet ready to give up at all.

Pinning her beneath his forepaws, Torrent was going to settle for simply forcing her into a submissive position. However, her constant retaliation was really getting on his nerves and he found another growl forming in his chest. However, it turned to a sort of grunt when her jaws closed around one of his front legs, more out of surprise than pain. Do not mistake it, she was practically crushing his wrist (or whatever dog people call it) but to show pain is to show weakness and the alpha male never let that happen.
Returning his growl to its original ferocity, he snapped and bit at the female's now vulnerable face, head and ears, shifting his free paw from her shoulder to her rib cage to more effectively prevent her from rising again.

She growled keeping a good grip and trying to bite down harder to make him release her. It greatly hurt her for him to shift his weight onto her ribcage which was less protected by fur thanks to her malnutrition. She felt even more pain as he began biting at her face and ears, resisting the urge to let go and give in. (Writer's block. not much to say.)

Growing more and more agitated by the moment, particularly as the bones in his fore-paw began to crack, the alpha male decided that enough was enough. He was trying not to hurt this bitch too much, since she had a puppy with her but if she was foolish enough to refuse surrender, than whatever happened to her was her own fault. Pausing in his mindless snapping, he gave another rather loud and pretty pointless snarl before aiming a powerful bite at the female's top jaw. If he couldn't rely on her to simply let go, then he'd simply pull her off...
((No worries... it's kind of like a play by play sort of fight so I'm not expecting anything huge...))
