As the pack vanished into the snow, Nova struggled to her feet and limped to the mouth of the cave, whining softly. She was still a young wolf but she understood that danger is everywhere, particularly in the winter. But there was something about the warmth of other bodies, their snuffles and barks, that had made her feel so very safe. They were right, though. She would have been a hindrance to their trek.
With one last look at the gathering clouds swollen with coming snow, the she-wolf padded back into her den and settled around her babes who immediately set to nursing with greedy little squeals. She closed her eyes and lowered her head to the cold ground, trying to savor this small moment of peace.
