*she picked up on it as always and light pink flames flickered along her wings, warming Bella, humming softly to herself*

(yes i have used lyrics from diet mountain dew by Lana del Rey and no im not ashamed yes im still gonna use them lol) she felt warmer in minutes "you know i love it when you hum that song, especially when im trying to sleep." she felt the ground shake without a care in world, as long as she's with her love "if the world was ending, i would be next to you." she fell asleep but started to see a bad, bad dream. she started to kick the sky with her paws and sweat "n-no, not them! don't take our pups away! don't take my love! kill me instead.." she started to whine in aggression and sadness

she shifted, soothing Bella's dream shh, it's ok, their safe

she calmed down and took deep breaths "i can't sleep.." (i just realized these couple posts have been too long 💀) she woke up but was still very sleepy "i can't sleep without the pups. wh-where are they?! but what if they run away?! what if Astro takes them?! oh god, im a terrible mother!" she started to cry silently with millions of thoughts running around her head, thoughts about what could've happened to them, and what will happen to herself if she lost her pups "you shall not worry. you have other things to worry about. i have to praise you, you're our alpha! i need to do all the work, not you! she pinned her ears and wrapped her wings around herself

shh, it's ok, ur are my mate, those pups may not be mine by blood but they are ours and therefore mine as well, Astro will not take them *she gently licked Bella's forehead, calming her*

she calmed down and looked at her for a while, then ran away into camp to find the pups without saying anything and then stopped, like she was waiting for Star, but at the same time looking for Lizzie and Bandit, then sat down, pinned her ears and whined. she let out three tears, which was her unlucky number. "this is not my year... Lizzie! Bandit! Lizzie, Bandit..! Star..? i really lost them.. " it started to rain and she layed down on the uncomfortable rocks while crying

Star followed and when Bella laid down she laid down beside her and gently sang, both calming bella and calling their pups to them [Lizzie] mama? why are you sad? [Bandit] did we do something wrong? they both started licking her tears while Star gently nuzzled her you won't lose us, not under my watch

she looked like she was freezing, but didn't want to show it "no, it's not your fault, kids. it's my fault." she licked Lizzie and Bandit, still crying a little. she started to shiver and realized she couldn't hide her cold anymore and wrapped her wings and tail around herself to keep her warm but she was still cold "let's go to our den, i don't want you two to catch a cold." she was still shivering in their den.

*her pups circled around her, worried and Star nuzzled her gently*

she acted as if she was never cold, the pups were never lost, and nothing happened. "yes, my dear? what is it?" her tail was wrapped around herself "im fine, just a little hungry. im bringing food you guys want some?" she smiled while she waited for a response at the door
