Akuti took a few deep breaths in an attempt to calm herself before responding to the Beta's observation. You didn't disturb me, she said with a playful lilt to her words, I needed the company. A smile teased at her maw, though she tried to keep her expression neutral. I met the kids. You were right; they look just like you. Both pretty sweet, too. Akuti had taken a liking to all of the pack's children, as they seemed to fill a hole in her heart growing ever deeper. She missed her own children as much as she had when she first had to leave, though it grew easier each day she was away. In a sense, she'd adopted the purple ladies as a replacement for her lost family. Akuti cherished them greatly, though she knew they would never compare to the lives of her children.
