Silver Creek The deal we made a thousand years ago

:)

Again she nodded, but had her own extra think, because there were other possible answers to Shreya's question. To be honest, she didn't give Saena too much credit for hunting, which was something every wolf of the pack should do (and indeed did). Ferocity was somewhat more laudable, for it took real inner strength to be as young and small and newly-mothering as Saena and yet stand with such determination.

All true, she therefore concluded, but her moving us at all was perhaps the best decision she could make... and also the most difficult. Some leaders, some lesser creatures, would have been selfish. Just think about it. Saena could've taken her puppies to some nearby friendly pack — she and her three children could've been safe. She didn't have to think of the rest of us — her own survival did not depend on it.
