Ouroboros Spine Nix

She tolerated his touch, even if her expression revealed her lack of care for it. It was enough to know she was willing to accept her father's affections even though she did not care for them. She was not as easily pleased or happy to be around family as her other siblings. 

No. He could have left it at that, but chose to be more revealing. Truthful, but Aiolos did not tell his whole story. I was an only pup and never met my father. A basterd. But the term may have been unheard of from his daughter's ears. I was still young when the Battle of Blackwater happened. Our pack dispursed and I did not see my mother again. For all he knew, she had died in the war that ended their pack. Good riddance, even if it meant years of slavery there after. Aiolos would not tell this either.

Aiolos would have been a very poor choice as a mate for @Kukutux in her world. He held no rank. No prominent family name. He was born a basterd and raised a slave. He barely knew how to hunt herds until he met Kigipigak, which was prominent among the northerners. 

He wanted Kausiut to know even if she did not always meet eye-to-eye with her family, she was very lucky to have them all and grow up as she had. All of them were. Even Aiolos, now.
