how to be a leader (and a sister, and a daughter...)

It surprised her to learn that Theory was considering taking them back to Abaven’s original lands at some point. She had thought the pack fairly settled where they were now. Well, she trusted Theory’s judgement, and would go where her Alpha sister took her.

As Theory rolled on her back, Motif kneaded her paws into her sister's stomach, hoping to tickle the other wolf's coat. “I never mind, Theory” she promised gently. She was glad her sister felt she could confide in her. “Do you ever think you’ll be a mother for real?” she asked. She had never considered it before, they were, all of them, adults now. They could have families of their own, if they so choose. She wasn’t sure if the idea filled her with sadness or joy. She couldn’t imagine having children of her own, but the idea of little baby Theories running around was adorable.
