Silvertip Mountain Real life is make believe

Adeline didn't even know Niita was Steady's mate. She wasn't sure if that made her an aunt-like figure or not, given the pup didn't even see her that way. She liked Adeline, thought she was adorable and would do anything to protect her just like the rest of the pack. At the same time she didn't want to stick herself into Steady's family until Adeline knew. She was a bit flustered by Zeke's last comment, nodding in thanks.

She was sure that Zeke was about to leave, or at least his words indicated that he was. Niita picked up Adeline's moonstone and put inside the den before returning to her side and laying down to watch over the pup as she slept.
