Mm, it's nice to be out.

My snout points into the air as I prance through the woods. Dane trots beside me. This is the first time since we- nope I had the boys that we're going outside without them. Three months of being dormant had my wolf clawing at me to get out. My nerves are catching up with me. Maybe it's too early to leave them alone.

Dane replies with a sigh. Baby, we have Taylor, Ian, Ashley, Nikol, and Alyssa watching them. They're in good hands, plus we have three guards watching the nursery door. Please stop stressing. Being inside isn't healthy.

But they're my babies! What if they need me in particular?

Darcy, they're alpha children. Soon enough they won't be depending on us anymore. It's early, but in sixteen years they won't need us anymore. At least not as much as they do now. Please, can we run now?

For a father you sure are letting them go easily.

Darcy. . .

I know, I know, 'stop being over protective. They're only babies.' You say that now, but not when they come home after getting a girl pregnant because YOU give them too much freedom.

You're ridiculous, honey.

Shush.

I love you.

Love you more.

Our paws hit the ground harder as we start running. He chases me through the forest, our playful yelps echoing in the air. After what seems like hours I finally get to go back home to my babies. The message that comes through my head doesn't help my nerves, it, in fact, makes them ten times worse.

Alpha! Luna! We need you!

Dane and I, fully clothed, look at each other before bursting into sprints. I knew it's too early to leave my babies alone. Tears run down my face as we run to the pack house. My best friends are holding my children, crying, when I reach them. Dane looks around.
