Nocturne Summit Look to the stars

If someone else had asked, maybe Charon might have taken offence in such a personal question. He didn't like to think he was different or less because his real parents had died, and he also didn't want to discredit his real parents because of the sacrifices they'd made. But the way that Odie turned her gaze to the night sky instantly after asking the question and seemed somewhat self-conscious about the question softened him.

Rather than directly answering the question, he explained his situation. "My mother died protecting one of my brothers from a bear," he said candidly; "And my father is dead, too. Thistle and Ragnar were the Alphas of Stavanger Bay, where I grew up, and they took me and my siblings in." Thinking about it, the fact that his parents had been allowed pups at all was special, let alone the Alphas raising their children as their own. But then, if Charon'd ever permit others to birth children, he would see those pups as the pack's, and he'd likely do the same thing.
