After staying up a little longer, Ark, Ephine and Atar all turned back into their wolf forms, cuddled up together, and then went to sleep. Since it had been a long day, they all fell asleep instantly. Even Ark who usually had trouble falling asleep managed to fall asleep without a hitch. Seeing him fall asleep quickly, Ephine could also sleep with some reassurance.
The night was short since they had stayed up fairly late, and soon, the sun rose back into the sky. Even though that was the case, everyone slept for a while longer, they really needed the rest after all. As opposed to the parents, the children were excited to wake up and play, but they still slept a while longer to respect their parents who were exhausted.
Sorry for the delay, the muscle pain from my training has been somewhat bearable, but my joints are absolutely killing me. I couldn't really find the motivation to write yesterday.
