As the female explained that she no longer belonged to Donnelaith, Skellige watched as her expression seemed to fall and her words carried a strange sort of heaviness to them. When she went on to explain that she carried the previous alpha’s puppies inside of her, his brows lifted somewhat and he thought for a moment of the crying Deirdre on the beach. The girl had been attacked by a coywolf stranger and he had arrived just in time to rip the creature’s tail from his body and send him running along the coast. Deirdre had wept to him about her father through the night and he had felt how heavy her heart had been over his loss. It was surprising to the brute to hear that this wolf was pregnant with the former alpha’s children. It did explain why she had been thrown from the pack, though. Jealousy bred evil beings.
 
Though her story was a sad one, the titan did not express any sympathy for her; Skellige did not see how it would do her much good. She was already in a state of disarray and without a home. If she were to have a complete stranger feed into the sadness of her story, it would only lessen her as an individual. Instead, he thought of what the pale forest wolf would do – what Deirdre would say about this Rowan being thrown from the ranks of Donnelaith and all the while carrying children inside of her.
 
“Donnelaith does not sound like the pack Deirdre described to me,” he growled distastefully, wondering if the pale girl had led him astray. She had painted the woods to be something of a peaceful home and he had anticipated that the healers inside were not creatures of childish endeavors. Evidently, he had been wrong. Brows furrowed into a tight knot, the brute thought of the puppies who would bear a relation to Deirdre and he wondered how she felt about them being cast out of her home. She had not come to speak to him so he did not know how she stood on the matter. “I have room in my ranks for another… and children, but my customs may not be agreeable to you,” he then decided to offer with a short shrug of his broad shoulders.
