Lion Head Mesa there is a woman in Somalia

It was a fair question. To most it seemed that Serein joined the pack, and within days the rumours of marriage spread.

I promised Verapaz that I would marry any women who bore my children. If Serein can do that, we will marry. It is my duty to the pack. It was simple, transactional, and at times he felt guilty for that. Surely it couldn't be all pleasant for Serein. Verapaz needs children, and it needs willing countesses. I want to bring as many as I can.

Wasn't that what a leader was meant to do? An army could easily grow from the womb, so long as you were willing to play the long game.
