“Mom’s tend to be really careful.” Naiche acknowledged the problem. The golden wolf peered through the den entrance where Asla was apparently sleeping. Was Naiche imagining laying next to her as she slept? Remembering how he used to enjoy that? Of course not. He looked a moment longer before his attention returned to Satira. She got a crooked grin, whispering to her, “It’s good to have high rank.” Naiche lifted his head to give the girl a wink. “My job includes training the other wolves, elites and novices alike. Adults and pups alike.” There was a hint of emphasis on the word pups. “Anyway, some things are more important than work,” Naiche offered simply. Was it? Naiche had never imagined such a truth. Now Naiche had a son. That boy was more important than anything he could imagine. “You two are my priority. Besides, I still put in a lot of work hours every day.” Lying around and relaxing was for lazy wolves and that was one thing Naiche would never be. Naiche stood up stretching, “So, if you could do anything you wanted right now, what would it be?” Of course, there were limits to what they would do but would she think up something to cross the barrier or did she have reasonable hopes?
