Novella's words would remind her more of her own pups than anything, her little babies were growing so fast. Before she knew it they would be yearlings and ready to go on their way. She hoped they would stay with her in Ludicael, at least for a good amount of time. They would all make such wonderful additions to the pack structure, thankfully those days could be forgotten until a later time. She still had at least a few more months with her children.
Novella would bring her out of her thoughts as she agreed to previous statements, "I don't like it either. I'm trying to talk to them, but they're still not exactly happy that I left. They forget that I'm not a pup anymore." Song could understand both sides in Novella's situation. She could see how protective they were, having watched the pretty she wolf grow up. It was incredibly obvious to Song though, that she was perfectly capable of being on her own. Novel and Dutiron were not the type to raise incompetent wolflings. Even Anthem was able to mostly look out for himself. "You certainly are not. Novella, I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you growing up." She had stepped back to take a better look at the young woman before her. I just want you to know that I think you've turned out wonderfully."
She was truly sorry for not being with her family, but the circumstances she was under forced her away. She didn't wish to blame her mother either, because in the end she was just doing what she had thought to be right. If only the execution of her plan had gone better maybe things would be different. She would have never left Ahlon, she wouldn't have met Cherokee and she wouldn't have the amazing pups that were running around in the pack. Yes, she regretted past events but she would not want to relive them.
