What is love?
His heart broke. The kid hadn't even been loved by his own mother?
He was silent, thinking about his answer while dropping his nose to the ground and trying to find a paw print, a puddle of stale urine, ANYTHING that said a pup had passed that way. When he spoke again, it was comforting. "There's different kinds of love. There the love for your pack, the determination to serve your Alpha. There's the love for your pups, or a pup for its parent. A warm, comfortable, safe feeling. But the love I'm talking about...is the love for a mate." He wondered if the kid had been told about mating and romance yet. "Its...you find someone. Someone-male or female- who you feel safe with. Who you want to be with, start a family. Who you would do anything to see happy, and they would do the same for you. Who makes your head feel fuzzy and stomach dizzy and the thought of losing them makes you hurt. Who makes you happy. That's love. It's so beautiful...and losing it hurts more than anything."
His mind went to Connor- sweet, muddy pelted connor with the grey eyes and crooked smile, who nursed his wounds in exchange for food and den material Memory fought for. Who had smiled and told Memory he loved him, and forgave him, even as he gasped from under Memory's fangs, Nix leering over them.
He blinked, not realizing he had shed a tear from his good eye.
