Lander has no idea what is going on, just that his little wolf friend has something that he probably shouldn’t have. “Hey Pup, it’s just me, Lander remember?” He put his hands up to remind him he can’t touch anything anyway. “Where’d you get that, little buddy? Maybe you should give it back to it’s mother?”

pup growls louder as the ghost comes closer, curling tighter around his baby. he does remember the ghost but that does little to comfort him. at lander’s words he snarls, snapping his teeth in landers direction once in warning. she’s his pup. he’s not giving her away. no one is taking her from him.

        the blonde had already left and returned, a plastic grocery bag in hand as she pushes her way through the crowd and crouches down beside pup and the tiny bundle he seems to have claimed. “hey kid, that’s enough of the growling alright? they learned their lesson, no one’s gonna steal your baby.” she reaches out, slow and steady movements as she goes to gently pet the top of his head. “but she needs a bath and some formula, okay? so lets take her home instead of sitting in the middle of the bar, yeah?”

he quiets slightly as jj approaches, eyes fixed the baby even as he watches the blonde from his peripheral. the other wolf pats his head and pup doesn’t acknowledge it, instead he curls further around his baby watching the way she giggles at everything. reluctantly he stands, careful not to hurt his pup and slowly grips the blankets she’s swaddled in in his maw. the wolf faces jj with his baby safely in his grasp and barks softly as if telling her to lead the way.

he can’t help but smile the more he looks at the baby, even more so after the approving nod from the wolf confirming that it is indeed pup. jason is still confused, of course he is ─ how could he not be? but above that, the sight brings him warmth. “i’m not going to take her away from you.” he says as he takes a few steps closer. “but it’d probably be a good idea to feed the little one, huh? maybe give her a bath and some clean, comfortable clothes. i’m not sure the bar’s floor is baby proof.”

bath. jason has a point. his baby is spattered with dirt and her blanket is almost grey from where he’d found her in the forest. pup turns, gently nudging his baby with his snout before licking her. he attends her tenderly the way wolves do to their young even as she squirms, and when he’s done he looks at Jason for approval. he doesn’t know much about caring for young in the human way, but his wolf instincts are strong enough to provide him with some feral inkling.

at the words mason couldn’t help but smile ever so slightly, though he was still looking with curiosity the small baby he was holding. there were so many questions he wanted to ask because it wasn’t really such common thing to find a baby, but he somehow knew better than doing that, especially given pup’s behavior and the way he held the small infant. moving closer, the redhead crouched down in front of them, head tilting to the side. “you never stop surprising me, you know?”

pup tilts his head and his baby mirrors it before she turns, teetering as she tries to grab a view of the newcomer. pup lifts her, turning her so that she can face his pack brother. he trusts mason enough to let him this close, but still not enough to let him touch his baby. the child in question starts to whine until pup bounces her again and the child gurgles happily reaching out with chubby fingers to grab at mason before pup pulls her back.

“ s-surprise ? “

there were quite few things that mason got used to when it came to pup, things that most people would have found strange or something along that line, but never him. but this? this was something he didn’t except when he found the younger werewolf and realized right away that he wasn’t alone. confusion settling onto his features as he stared at the baby for a couple of moments before his attention shifted to the other. “pup?”  @ctlcs

he’s sat on the floor, baby in his lap as he bounces her, green eyes fixed on her smile as she giggles and tries to grab at his hair. pup makes a trilling noise, and watches as his pup gurgles at him delightedly. he’d been stubbornly ignoring most of the pack since he’d brought his baby into the hunter’s moon, he didn’t want their questions, and them trying to take her from him, was something he wanted even less. now though, the wolf perks up, clutching the baby tighter as he looks at mason. 

“ h-hi mason . “

jasonfumero‌:

he recognizes the wolf laying in the middle of hunter’s moon as being pup, both from mannerisms and the familiarity that he brings, but what he doesn’t recognize is the… baby? doesn’t seem like pup wants people to get close to her, either, which jason would say is understandable ─ as much as anything can be in this situation. “pup?” he asks just to be sure, as if the other can actually answer him right now.

pup curls tighter around his baby, tail thumping twice and ear tilted in jason’s direction even though he makes no move to look at his fellow wolf. his eyes are fixed on the baby as she tries to tug on his tail, so pup raises it, watching as chubby fingers follow, trying to fist in his fur. the wolf drops his tail, finally turning his head to jason as he gives him a small approving nod.

[ctlcs]

the growl erupts from his throat, lips pulled back and fangs bared  and he curls tighter around the baby. he’s been there for the past half an hour, shifted in the middle of hunter’s moon, infant only a few months old covered by his tail as she gurgles at the crowd. pup snaps at a hand that gets a little too close, teeth barely scraping flesh before the other withdraws with a yelp. she’s his pup now. he wont let anyone take her from him.

       for a blinding, terrifying second, ralph had been within the path of a pickup truck that had no interest in stopping. thankfully, the animal was quick on his feet and skittered onto the sidewalk at the last minute. recovered from the panic, cooper crouches by his side, pulling his faithful friend close and murmuring relieved encouragement. “that was a close call, buddy.”

[ctlcs]

pup sits down in front of them without warning or explanation, letting the other people on the sidewalk filter around them. the young wolf sniffs at the two of them, expression curious before he cautiously extends a hand to try and stroke ralph.

“ p-puppy  “

it isn’t usual for max to be at the hunter’s moon, of all bars. usually he picks another one, knowing that although not prohibited from entering, shadowhunters aren’t exactly the most welcomed kind ─ especially not with current events. this time, though, he’d been drawn to the place, and the reason for that could be explained with one word, more specifically, a name. the very same name that pup had spelled out on the sand sprinkled on the counter. did he smell like anna? pup doesn’t seem mad about it so he takes that as a good sign. turning towards the wolf, his usual frown softens slightly. “yeah, anna.” he offers a small smile. “good catch.”

pup perks up, smile bright and beaming. he swipes a hand through the sand before carving a smiley face into the grains. he’d gotten no praise before, but now it was slowly filtering in and pup liked it. the wolf points at the smiley face, making sure that max sees it before he swipes at it again and carves in his name, pointing from the words and back to himself.

     “ oh —— whoa ! ” exclaimed nate as he watched the werewolf launched himself onto him, and despite his surprise, a laugh escaped his lips. “ hey there, little koala. ” the shadowhunter greeted the smaller male, arms wrapping around his frame to give a friendly pat on his back. “ it’s been a while. ” 

he doesn’t quite understand the reference but he accepts is anyway, scent marking nate before slowly letting go. he holds up a hand, almost hitting the shadowhunter in the face as he tries to showcase his plushie. there’s a few grains of sand stuck to the pink fuzz, but it’s only to be expected considering the wolf takes it everywhere. pup holds out his jellyfish plushie, looking for nate’s approval.

masonwhat‌:

his laugh slowly faded away, thought he couldn’t help but chuckle from time to time still, not that he minded being scented all that much. getting back into a more or less of a sitting position, the redhead tried his best to sweep most of the sand off of his shirt, though his gaze was still focused on the other as he took both the crabs in his hands, eyes curious but it was obvious that he was happy, that he was having fun. it took him by surprise, when he heard pup talk, mouth falling open as he let out a small gasp but it was soon replaced by a bright smile, his whole expression lit up, and he reached out without much of a thought and ruffled his hair as if to say that he was proud of him, another small laugh slipping past his lips before voicing his thoughts too. “this is incredible, i’m so proud of you.”

the smaller wolf beams, leaning into mason’s touch and almost glowing from the praise. he can’t force out anymore words, it’s a miracle he even managed those few. he’s been practising more but on some days his voice is no where to be found. on others it’s present but the words escape him. pup’s attention is stolen as his new two friends start pinching at each other, tiny pincers snapping at each other. he snarls at them until they stop and tries to hand mr crab to mason.

this time when he sees the blonde he’s not scared. instead pup launches himself at the shadowhunter, arms and legs wrapping around the taller male as he clings to him in way of a greeting. pup tilts his head as much as he can, still plastered the the older male’s side and beams at him.

@maxravennight

he’d been creeping behind the bar, gently arranging some sand on the bar , decorating his piles with a few shells before taking out his new crab friend and gently placing her onto her new sandy home. it wasn’t the first time he’d turned enzo’s bar into a portable beach, but the older wolf didn’t seem to mind. pup perks up slightly as he catches a whiff of anna’s scent, leaving his crab for a moment to follow the scent. it’s clinging to a man; he looks grumpier than enzo but regardless pup scrambles onto a bar stool next to him, taking some sand from his pocket and sprinkling it on the bar so that he can spell out:

a n n a ?

@eleancra

he’s not doing much of anything when it happens, young wolf crouched by the shore as he draws in the sand. the wind picks up unexpectedly, breeze ruffling his hair and bringing with him a familiar scent. pine. old books. peppermint. something soothing and warm and home. dad! he’s racing towards it without a thought, green eyes welling up as he follows the scent. it smells so unmistakably like his dad that he ignores the sweeter undertone. pup follows the scent until he’s bumping face first into a dark haired woman. the scent stops with her pup realises numbly but he sniffs at her anyway whining lowly.

“ d-da .. d-dad ? dad . “

like for a starter from pup!!

masonwhat:

once again he found himself laughing at the other’s reaction after he booped his nose, a fond smile settling upon his features as he shook his head a couple of times. he let him inspect the small creature, careful of keeping his palm open and not dropping it in the sand, not when he was really considering getting the younger werewolf a small fish tank to keep all those little sea creatures he seemed to love so much. one second he was smiling and the next he found himself getting tackled to the ground, letting out a yelp in the process that soon turned into a laugh before he ruffled his hair with his free hand. “and now we can say that the trip the beach was a success since we got sand everywhere!”

pup scent marks the redhead before he can think about it. he stays clinging to the older wolf for a few more minutes before pulling back and plopping himself in the sand. if he was shifted his tail would wag, instead pup gives him a lopsided grin, before pulling his mr crab from where it was pinching his jeans and reaching over mason to gently scoop up the hermit crab trying to make its escape. he lets them both sit in the palm of his hand green eyes flicking between them and mason. this is probably the happiest he’s been in... a long long time. pup swallows, adamns apple bobbing as he tries to push words from his throat.

“ l- la- laugh . pretty laugh . “
