Sawtooth Spire As You Wish

he wouldn't have had other children. praimfaya says this matter-of-factly, eager to keep ingram on a pedestal ...and anyway, it wasn't about ingram who did the right thing. it was about howl who was, regardless of how he tries to twist things to be favorable ( at least this is how praimfaya sees it ), was still choosing one litter over another. it'd be different if you and star were just mates. if she didn't have your cubs. but she did. your cubs with your mate are supposed to be your legitimate children. the others are your bastards.

praimfaya says this so blasé because ...it's impossible for her to be in his situation. she could never give birth to more than one litter a year ...and while she supposes she could have a father to her children in a similar situation to howl's but her ultimatum would never change because she is not soft hearted.

you are not sagtannet. we don't need you to pull your weight. whether mahler agreed to this or not ...there would come a time when praimfaya would not let him cross into their borders. in her mind as a guardian, he shouldn't be allowed to come and go as he pleased just because he had children here. this was still a pack and allowing howl to come and go as he pleased set the wrong kind of example. you don't get to come and go as you please just because you have children here.

choose.

you must choose between your children because eventually, despite how well you think you're doing, it will never be enough. you will break someone's heart and maybe your own in the process. you are being cruel and selfish. so choose where you want to be and stay out of the lives of the other's.
