Redhawk Caldera Strange things

I appreciate that. Last year was.. harder than usual. I love having so many, but I think this year I’d like less, if only so it goes a little smoother. Maia laughed a little self-consciously, sheepishly tilting her ears back. Not that we get to choose! I guess.

She’d take whatever she could get, even if that meant this year they had none. She’d been so blessed already. Who could ever ask for more?

Maia hesitated a moment, then decided to ask anyway. After all, maybe it would make her feel better about the question herself! You don’t have to answer either, of course, but… is that something you want? Someday? Amalia didn’t seem to have a mate or anyone she had her eye on, but that didn’t mean she didn’t want a family of her own. Some wolves just knew. Maia hadn’t been one of them, of course, but once she met Eljay…. well. Things had become so clear so quickly.
