Stone Circle Testing The Waters

Her questions were valid but that didn't stop them from causing Howl internal anger. Not at her for asking them, but because he wasn't sure of the answers themselves. It was hard for him to explain or comprehend. He cared for all of them. They were all so different and he connected with all of them for different reasons. 

He could only think of it like having children or a widow situation. The more children you have doesn't diminish the amount that you love them. Someone finding love after the death of a former mate is possible, proving that you can love multiple wolves intimately over time. In Howl's case, it was simply happening. At least that's what he tried to tell himself.

"I... I don't know Brynn. I wish I knew. Part of me wished that none of this had ever happened. That I hadn't dug myself this hole. That I didn't feel this way... That Heartha was still alive."  he said trailing off.

"I do want something more with them if I can have it."  he confessed.  "But that doesn't mean I want anything less with you... None of this changed the way I feel about you and how much I love you."  he explained again trying to convince her that this had nothing to do with her and how he felt about here, all of that was the same.
