you'll be in my heart

Her ears twitched when Maverick spoke, but at first, the words meant nothing to her. They were just meaningless sounds. She hadn't done everything that she could have done. Obviously, she could have done more. She could have helped her mother. And yet, Maverick's words made sense. She knew, empirically that they were true. They rang of truth, and some of them even sunk through the haze that seemed to wrap around her thoughts. "I . . . I guess I know that. But I just feel like I could have helped her more. It didn't have to end this way." Her mother had been an amazing wolf, the one female that Kamala had looked up to for her entire life. Her father had been more of a role model, to be fair, but Kamala had adored her mother.

But it was his next words that made the most sense to Kamala. He didn't make any excuses for her. No, Maverick told the complete and utter truth there, in a way that made her feel better. It didn't lay her faults bare. "I . . . Thank you, brother." It almost felt like there was a weight gone from her shoulders, to have an explanation for Gideon's actions. To not blame them solely on herself, well, that was pretty nice, she had to admit. It made her feel closer to normal than she had felt since everything had fallen apart.

Nuzzling against her brother when butted his head against hers, Kamala found herself with a genuine smile on her features. "And you and Epiphron will be the best parents a pup could hope to have. After all, you're already the best brother I could wish for." It felt like a betrayal to Valkis to say that, but he was long gone by now and only Maverick had bothered even trying to pick up the pieces and that had helped her more than she was willing to admit.
