Valette lifted her head with a frown when someone called her to her border. The tones sounded familiar but she couldn't really place them. She pushed herself to her feet with a groan. Her belly was getting heavy. It had amazed her how much it had expanded in the last few weeks. She was almost the same size as when she was close to giving birth to her last litters. However, her teats weren't as protruded and her heat had only been a month ago. Valette reasoned that since Greyback was large, these pups might be larger in size as well? Or... Or there were many more in there than she ever had.

Valette made her way to the border but not at the pace she wanted. She wondered who was at the borders. She did recognize the voice. She instantly recognized Arlette standing next to an old white male. Valette couldn't place him for a moment until she saw his eyes, Nanook's eyes. Kove. Her father. She looked with surprise from her father to Arlette. Her hazel green eyes shot back to her father with suspicion. Was this some elaborate plot. She wasn't sure what dark things the male was planning. "Arlette," she called her, a bit unsteady. "Come to me," she spoke more strictly. Not really wanting her close to a male that killed, at least she assumed that.

Valette stepped a bit forward, wanting to protect Arlette. "What are you doing here?," she asked Kove, perhaps a bit sharply. She was mostly unsure of what he wanted from her. Why was he visiting now? After all these years? Valette had always assumed the worst of him, really, even though he had never really hurt her. He had hurt by leaving but that was so long ago. She was mostly afraid of what the pack did he was in. However... Now she checked his scent, he didn't smell like that stench of a swamp.
