She wondered at the thought of there being so many other wolves in the pack. In her short life, she’d only really interacted with her parents and brother, and Paladin. She’d known there were others, but not how many. And she’d have to meet them all, soon. Yikes…

She swallowed the nerves the thought of meeting so many strangers brought to her throat, looking up at her father as he spoke, telling her about how he sat up on this very boulder and spoke to those wolves. Where everyone could see and hear him clearly. And she would have to do it too, someday.

He was scarred and carried one hind leg differently from how her mother and Paladin walked, but he was indestructible and could do no wrong. How was she supposed to live up to his legacy?

As young as she was, these nerves were already setting into place at the back of her mind. Some would probably shy away completely, rolling belly up and giving in, but that wasn’t something she wanted to do. She wanted to be brave… Like Da.

"Cá bhfuil siad ar fad, Da?" How did so many wolves fit into that space?
