Lilia could almost taste her own ambition. Thinking about training the next generation to become fierce, loyal and skilled appealed to her. She wanted them to look up to her, and see her as an influencer within the pack. Secretly, she thought, she should spend more time with them- win their favour by being present. 

But she wouldn’t be the only one- and she wouldn’t want to be. They would need hunters, guardians, but they would also need caregivers, like Masque. Between the two litters, she thought they might find some balance of skill and talent.

She raised her brow. ”You feelin’ better now, yeah?” It felt like it chafed, asking Masque about their well-being when Masque was the healer out of the both of them- but she did it anyway.
