Silvertip Mountain My Mind Is My Last Sanctuary

His smile brightened as his friend congratulated him. He could hardly believe it himself. Thanks, he replied. It made him happier to have the support of his family and pack mates. Had they not been pleased, Steady knew his loyalties would have been pulled in both directions: one for his pack, one for his heart. He was glad that was not a war he would have to face. The thought of promoting her to Alpha may have happened upon his mind, but he didn't want the others to think that title was simply handed to her. He knew some positions might come with a mateship, and she would hold a certain respect regardless of her rank, but he needed her to earn Alpha. He knew the pack would respect her more doing it that way.

He frowned, his head tilting to the side. Uh, you know, we haven't discussed pups, he confessed. A worry was brought to light that he hadn't considered before now. The last wolf he was involved with hadn't wanted pups, and their relationship had ended. They had never even officially become mates. Steady's heart had led him to asking Niita, and he hadn't worried about the rest. But, what if she didn't want pups? Then Steady began doubting if he should even have any. After what happened with Odette and Stoic, I'm not sure I'm cut out to be a Dad, he said, his voice expressing his sorrow. He didn't regret the decision he made about Zaria, but he did regret doing in front of her children.
