The woman spoke of her children, which immediately drew Liffey's attention. She was a mother herself twice over, but she had long felt oddly competitive and even resentful of other mothers. That had been when she'd been part of a pack where the children of those mothers had competed against her own for resources and opportunities.

Being with the Frosthawks now, Raven's litter technically competed with her own. But the situation had taught her that it didn't have to be like it had been. The shared experience of motherhood could inspire kindship and bring wolves closer.
