Ankyra Sound stars are born in litters

The growl was as clear as day. Stay back! At least it was a wolfish sound, and not one of a cougar or, god forbid, another bear. Lilitu left the shadows of the sequoias and stood in full view of the rocks, as non-threatening and unassuming as she could look.

A lone wolf and pups wouldn't do well on their own. At minimum, she needed a mate to hunt for them while the litter suckled. Perhaps the mother wasn't alone. . .but she hadn't smelled any others while she'd come down from Sapphique.
