Ever could imagine the girl being a mother easily. Amaranth cradled the boy in his strapped pack, holding her hands under his wait with gentle care. However, ocean hued eyes could see the slight hitch in her arms and the exhaustion behind her eyes. Mothering must have taken much out of her. The silver hybrid could only imagine how difficult the birthing must have been, as well. According to Vigilante, Ayita had lost one of her pups. A little girl, it was. The thought still sent shivers through her slender body.
A peculiar look crossed the fiery mother’s expression before she spoke. It was a question, phrased in a reassuring way. Ever understood why Ayita’s daughter might ask such a thing. Both remembered the bitterness they shared when she had been taken in by their parents. Most nights they spent together in the same room or inside the same house. This, unfortunately, didn’t change. Ever wasn’t outright aggressive, so she let Amaranth bully her without much thought. She knew Ayita was aware of her daughters’ friction, yet was not troubled that she hadn’t done anything to change it the past year.
“Of course,”
The silver girl responded, returning her sisters smile. Amaranth’s smile came easy since she came.
“Ezra and I are doing quite fine, thank you, sorry that you did not catch him this afternoon,”
Ever had difficulty hiding the shadow that passed over her features. She hadn’t seen the man in longer than she should. A familiar aching tightened her core. Jiva twisted in his mothers grip. The silver hybrid knew one day she would birth Ezra’s pups. The same thought occurred when a similar inquiry came up while visiting her adopted parents. It was too soon for her to settle down, yet a small shred of jealousy tore her heart at the thought that her younger sister had became a mother before her. However, she and Ezra had mated first. Thoughts of raising a family lifted her spirits but also quickened her pace with fear.
“How about you and Niro?”
The girl delved further, keeping the conversation alight.
