| Chapter One ~ Trecar’s Birth ~ It was a dark and rainy night. Even as the wind howled furiously and the rain fell in large drops, the female fox and her mate were snug inside their den. Every now and then, a gust of wind found its way into their safe haven, but the fox pair was concerned with more important matters. Serena, the female fox, lay huddled against a large rock. She knew her pup would be born tonight. Timmeno, her mate, paced at the den's entrance. He could not wait for his pup to be born. Serena replied with a growl and a look of contempt. She was a beautiful reddish brown fox with black tip ears. Timmeno loved her one white front paw and the black tip on her bushy tail. He ignored her harsh response and settled down to wait. He wished the rain would stop. It didn't seem right for his pup to be born into such tumult. The den nearly shook with the thunderclaps. The thunder was so loud that Timmeno didn’t even hear Serena yelp as she birthed the pup. “Timmeno,” she whispered in a quiet moment, “she’s here.” Timmeno ran to her side. “I am the father of a baby girl pup!” he exclaimed. It was a great honor in the fox community to be the father of a girl pup. It was common knowledge that girl fox pups learn much faster than boy pups. Timmeno nuzzled the newborn pup and gave Serena a devilish smile of approval. The pup looked just like him except for the diamond-shaped patch of brown fur between her ears. “Oh, Serena, she is beautiful. We will name her Trecar because she is as beautiful as a fox princess.” Serena agreed. Timmeno always thought of himself as crown prince of the red foxes — as if there was such a title. She groomed her princess from head to toe before she drifted off to sleep with Timmeno’s body surrounding them both. To buy the book click here-->Buy book |
