Mount Apikuni she had nowhere else to go

It was the closest she had ever seen him to crestfallen. The quiet way he spoke was enough to make her want to turn back on Fox and tell her she could fuck off, and scream at Sos that he could find some other fool to sate his lust for blood. That she could not give him something she thought he wanted ruined her, but for the time being, she maintained her cool outer composure. If Sos would not take them, then Fox would. There was no way out of it.

She wouldn't tell him that, though. If she could give her shaman one small ounce of hope, she would do it, if only to wipe that expression from his face. She was still, though she yearned to find comfort in his embrace, but at last she nodded. "Of course," she said, torn about how she would feel if Sos changed His mind. On one hand, Lecter would be pleased... But on the other hand, Jinx felt no love for the children she carried, and would not have made a good mother to them should they live.

"Fox knows," she said with a frown, "though how she guessed, I... I don't know. She realized before I did." Jinx, of course, didn't realize that other wolves had also noticed and simply hadn't said anything. It was Fox who had brought it to her attention first, and it was only since then that anyone seemed to express surprise about it.
