West looked at Aki for a mintue, then trotted away. "Sierra?" He said quietly as he walked up to thier den.
Aki looked up at Mari. His eyes swimming with regret and sadness. "I....I'm so sorry." He whispered "I didn't want to abandon you." He looked down. "I hate myself Mari, for leaving you, for leaving....." he choked, suddenly realizing he didn't even know his pups names. 'How old would they be now?' He thought '1 week or 2?' He sighed and looked up at his mate. The coldness in her eyes, stung him and tore a wound in his heart. 'What did I do?' He said to himself. He spoke with a hoarse voice "Mari, I don't know what to say. Or do." He looked away "I don't expect you to forgive me."
