What?!

Sympathy clouded her expression before she moved forward to nuzzle him gently. "Your mother abandoned you and your siblings repeatedly. You won't do that to them. We won't do that to them. My mother didn't raise me - I never found out why - but these pups will be raised with us and we won't abandon them." They wouldn't; that much Lillianna could promise. There was no way she'd let these pups lose a father or a mother. No. No way. Not unless something forced them away, some disaster happened.

Ahhh, Sparrow. Lillianna cringed a little at it, before flashing Lark a sympathetic look. "I'm not thrilled at all, but with this omega bullshit it would probably be best for both of us to tell her. I can't imagine she'll be happy; she rather despises me - I still don't know why - and she doesn't trust me at all. Also don't know why. We should probably just call her here." Thankfully, that was okay to Lark, and so she tipped her head back and called for Sparrow.
