Stunned, Kiara's simple mind couldn't even register the comfort that her pack mates were offering. She didn't notice the submissive behavior of Fayne who by all rights should have demanded such a behavior from the alabaster mother. Nor did she notice the pain and anger present in both higher ranking wolves. All Kiara could think about was her son, Kohaku. His name swirled around in her head like a tornado. Just the fact that he was alive was enough to throw her off her game. To hear that he was with Amy, it was worse than thinking him dead.
Savage anger flooded her mind. Kiara wanted to run, to fight for her son. It was hard for the scarred mother to think of anything else. Yet, there was a single thread that connected her to the land. Lucia. Frustrated and with nothing to take her anger out on Kiara began to pace furiously back and forth. Vicious snarls flew form her lips like curses and her eyes blazed with an unrivaled hatred for Amy.
As she paced, she listened to Zalen and Fayne speak. Their words were painful to hear. Kiara didn't want any future promises, she couldn't wait. The longer she waited, the more precarious her son's welfare became. How long till Amy killed him or corrupted his young mind? Kiara paused in her pacing long enough for Zalen to give her another comforting lick, but it was clear that Kiara was in no mood for comfort. She wanted results.
The comforting splashes of Lucia's play had stopped. Her mother's sudden transformation into her angered state had not gone past the puppy. Lucia sat on the river banks, watching with large round eyes. Kiara, somewhat placated by her daughter's presence, strode over and wrapped her body around the small puppy. Lucia gave a whine, afraid and confused. She didn't know what was going on, she didn't realize the trouble her brother was in.
