Anstice was slightly hesitant until Minka said something that she never expected. They didn’t care that there was a man after her child because they were in the same pack. She asked for a description of the man and she gave it without a second thought. “He is jet black fur with amber or golden eyes and he goes by the name Chuylin. I went by a pack named Hollowheart Keep and his scent marked the borders so he belongs to that pack I think. He said his sister runs it.” She went through all the information she could remember as she racked her brain for more information. She still held her protective curl over her son but made she that he could breathe still so she would know she wasn’t curled too tight.
She didn’t know what she would do if she lost him.
She had to do it for him. Abadeer was her heirloom. He would be her pride and joy. She wished that Delilah could be with them but it was not so and it stung to know how useless she was to save her beautiful baby girl. If only Chuylin hadn’t found them when she had given birth. If only he had minded his own fucking business and then perhaps she wouldn’t be so distraught about it all. She owed Minka and Tokino her life and it was a debt she would never forget and she’d spend her entire life making it up to them. She only hoped it would not be in vain. “Thank you… I… I owe you both so much and I hardly know you.” She held that grateful look in her eye. It was clear that she would never forget this.
