Falls of the Hinterlands and if i took on the planet

"My co-leader gave birth to a healthy daughter and I have two high-ranked wolves expecting a litter later in spring," Wraen replied without hesitation. She did not consider her own infertility a matter that she wished to discuss with a distant acquaintance. It was a fact only Towhee and Arcturus knew about, which was ironic, because neither were her closest or the dearest. If asked, why was it so, she would probably reply that Regent understood and could keep a secret and as for Arthur... well, it was something he should not worry too much about, since it did not affect him at all.

"But things are looking way better this year than the last, where the puppies outnumbered the adults. Now we have plenty of older wolves and yearlings to take proper care of all that are born in the copse this season," she explained. "I am too all for less litters and better nurture than the other way around," Wraen added, feeling glad that she had somehow managed to keep the numbers under check.
