"Oh, probably," she confirmed, not really realizing that Wildfire assumed she was pregnant now. "I guess whenever it decides to happen." There was no rushing these things, though the young alpha felt a building impatience for it.

It was likely the girl didn't care much about her half-sisters eventual kids, just as Saena wouldn't care one bit about her estranged father's upcoming litter. Yet she couldn't help it now that her mind was on it. "I like my freedom," she said decidedly. One or two pups would be easily handled between the two parents and both of them could remain free birds. Three or four? Not so easy.
