Stone Circle Will I ever be good enough?

Valette listened to her daughter and knew that she was right. If he felt guilty or wanted to look for Tavi that shouldn't be of the cost of their own children. Frankly, most of the time he had been ill, so how could he have been doing much of his father role. Not much at all. Then again, she could relate him feeling like a burden but he should have told her about it. Not just leave. Steph was right. "You are quite right," Valette admitted softly.

Valette pushed her ears up when she heard Steph speak of three mates. She only had two. She and Ezekiel were never officially together. She didn't want to be together with him at the time. She had used him, and she was confident that he wouldn't stay. She had been right. "Ezekiel was never a mate, though only because I didn't trust him to stay for so long," she admitted with a nod. "Steady got into a fight and died," Valette nodded with a sigh. The injuries were too much.

"You are sweet, Steph," she spoke, happy with the comfort now. Valette leaned her cheek against her eldest daughter. She would need to digest this, though luckily she did have her children. They were her greatest comfort those males gave her. "Perhaps one day there will be a male who stays," she sighs. Maybe she would visit Nanook she heard from Yakone that she was in a pack in the north. "Thank you, Steph," she sighed. "I'm glad I have you and your siblings."
