Rising Sun Valley the power of voodoo (discovery)

Pied ignored Jinx's question, not out of rudeness but because there was a much more pressing matter to address, at least in her opinion. Her lips pinched together when Jinx revealed that her unborn litter had been sired by Lecter. Suddenly, she wondered if this was why Jinx had left the ridge and come here to the creek specifically: to raise her pups with their father, the shaman. That would partially explain why she'd accepted Fox's leadership, anyway.

Then Jinx said something that made Pied's blood run cold in her veins. She balked, frozen where she stood. Then, "What does that mean?" she demanded, though, somehow, she already knew the answer. "You're not going to kill them, are you?" she guessed, her voice rising an octave. "Jinx, they're your children," she entreated, now visibly alarmed by Jinx's blasé demeanor.
