Sawtooth Spire wolkenbruch

nyx' words revealed a world that mahler had not realized. he had feared caiaphas, and when she took the helm, he had only waited for a chance to leave, abandoning them all to the whims of the bear.
he recalled how he had gotten glimpses of nyx, rounded with pregnancy, and saw now the truth of it.
surely that had not been the only reason wylla departed the shoreline? he would not accept it, for that meant the woman beside him would have been responsible for the disappearance of the she-wolf he had loved.
"vylla is not someone who takes disrespect lightly," he commented. "but now she is ruler again. perhaps it vill satisfy her." 
a glimmer of a thought, to ask after nyx' first litter. he passed it by, knowing with a wry reluctance that wylla would not be sated by a mere rank.
