It calls for us both, but it is us women that are left with the consequences,” her tone was no less harsh, though her posture softened in defeat. Would Arkadiy have joined her if given the chance? So far there had been no sign of the man, and perhaps that was for the best.

But what the seal hunter spoke next made her heart swoop uncomfortably. “That is…an option?” To rid herself of this sickness - no - this pregnancy. It is what she has asked of him originally, but now the winds had shifted.
Loath to return to moonwoman’s lands, she met his gaze imploringly. “Can you- would you tell me more? As my hunt-brother. I do not think I can face any moonwolves right now.”
