Her father wanted to know more about her and about her life in Valta. He asked if she still watched the stars and Asla gave a sad little smile and shook her head. "There hasn't been time with raising three kids, keeping Indigo in one piece and protecting packs." Her interests had shifted. She had perfected her fighting style and was an incredible hunter. The stars had been left behind. Yes, she still found them beautiful, but they no longer held the same allure that they had when she was a pup.

Sirius asked about Valta and Aslatiel couldn't help but laugh. "Well, Kotori chose to claim the falls, which is where I almost died that one time and Naiche had to bring me back home." At the mention of Naiche, the woman's laughter died and her brows drew together. "Dad, I-" she began, grimacing and looking up to meet her father's blue eyes with her own galactic pools. "I'm the one that ended Naiche's life." Her father was the first and only one to learn the secret that she'd been keeping all this time. "He was dying, suffering. I ended his life to save him from a slow death. No one else knows." What would her father think of her act of mercy? Would he see it as such?
