Koda was pleased when it was obvious that his point had been driven home. Rosalea would have no pups. He nodded his approval when Shade spoke of keeping his distance, just to be sure. Then the other wolf moved on to the topic of Willow Ridge pups. By his words, Koda surmised that he knew about Nina being his mate, rather than Elettra. It was not something that he went out of his way to hide, but he didn't speak of it out of respect to Elettra and the rest of the pack. Just because they were not an actual mated pair did not mean that they couldn't lead together.
There were some other implications though. The plan from the beginning was that he lead with her until she found a more suitable male to stand by her. As of yet, there seemed no real contenders for the position. He had made it clear to her that his heart belonged to Nina and that meant that he wouldn't be the father of any Willow Ridge pups. There was still time, but he supposed that it was ticking by. The fact that Shade was concerned about bothered him though. The pack should not need to worry about such things and while if was a valid question, it was not an appropriate one.
He understood the curiosity, but he needed to set the other male straight. Turning to face Shade, Koda's golden eyes darkened and the green flecks in them seemed to dance with his heightened emotion.
"You don't need to concern yourself with the future of Willow Ridge. We will survive and grow in whatever manner Fate decrees. Elettra and I have everything under control and our private business is our own, as is Nina's." He sounded a bit harsh maybe, but he was not prepared for the question and it was between him, Elettra and whoever she chose to father the next generation of Willow Ridge.

Koda will most likely always be accompanied by Chiron unless otherwise stated, or requested.
