Bearclaw Valley however dangerous this may be

Ulysses ethereal hues settle upon Merrick as the others own eyes flick over to Uly and the rest of the pack. Finally settling upon the raven female. The larger wolf awaits what their leader has to say and he can see the love held within that gaze. 

Then he announces that they’ll be parents, and surely the rest of the pack mentors to the little ones that come. Uly loves puppies of he has anything to say about it. He is not at all surprised by the announcement now that he thinks about it. Merrick speaks fondly of his shadow. Still despite the relationship between himself and Merrick, he harbors no ill blood with Astara. Rather would like to get to know the speechless wolf. 

Uly finally has a family of his own. Why would he let something so trivial ruin that? So he offers a congratulatory smile to the both of them. In hopes of a pleasant future for them and their pups.
