Jax shifted into his wolf form and did what he'd been doing every night to calm Talon and the pups. He began to lick over Talon's skin, cleaning off the sweat that had already accumulated at the back of Talon's neck and the small of his back. He licked firmly, not wanting to tickle Talon. He nosed at him before he licked over the side of his face, murmuring to him.

Jax settled next to him and began to lick his belly, talking softly to the pups, telling them that they were excited to meet them and to try and nap while their mother did. He felt a weak push against his tongue, the pup that was higher in Talon's belly having a bit more room to move. He nosed lower and licked between Talon's legs, cleaning him off more.
