Arrow Lake A Wolf To Water

Murdock snorted as Pema named the last child. Easy. What had Grayday been thinking? That poor girl would grow into a Sameth beauty and be harrassed at every turn. It wasn't funny, but it did tease a chuckle out of the worldly male.

He didn't think it was at all strange to care for another's pups. Instinct was strange when it came to interacting with younger wolves, and Murdock had found that they, as a species, had a great capacity to love. "You care for them," he noted, but rather than surprise, it was affection in his voice. He loved a woman who knew how to care for pups. Even if he didn't have any for her to mother, there was still something very attractive about her now that he knew she had the instinct for it. "Do you want to be a mama, then?" he asked her.
