Arlette thought about the words Kove spoke. About how his family thought about spirits. It was somehow close how Easthollow viewed it. It was only different that they didn't believe in spirits but they did have their stone circle where they would remember their past loved ones. "We have our stone circle where we remember the wolves who passed. It is more that the stone will be an embodiment of that person. You can come to them for advice."

Arlette slowly nodded when Kove admitted that there had been some mistakes in the past. Sometimes it was the little things that could make or break a relationship it seemed. She saw it with Merrit as well. He had been devastated with the loss of their father while she was not that bothered. She was more upset because he hurt her mother. It seemed that the little meetings made Merrit care more for their father. Lesson learned. Kove started to reveal more about her mother's past, so she listened carefully. It was fascinating to her that her mother had a life before her.

Arlette frowned slowly. "But was my grandmother not understanding of you seeing your sister?," she asked curiously. "I don't understand. I think momma was pregnant, alone, and leading a pack all the times she was pregnant, I think. Because my big sister Steph said that she didn't have a father either. And well, my father left. But Mommy has been leading since Easthollow started so maybe she was used to it?" She wasn't really sure where the line was. To her, it was almost normal that a female had to raise pups 'all by herself', mostly without a mate, with a pack.
