@Alya slept with the cubs she had recently put down to sleep. But who knew, perhaps they might feel inclined to join her despite her attempts to exhaust them hours earlier.

Hydra would not leave her short of a pair of protective teeth. Hydra's gaze looked 'round, and her ears pricked while she listened for their approach.
