Amatis walked into the room, hiccup cradled in her arms, wailing, as if he sensed something wrong.

"Come now, dear, time to introduce you to your new family," she hushed, pushing back a curtain and walking into the family room.

"Amatis," said her brother.

She smiled, "Lucian," she replied.

"I see you received the little one, then," he said, indicating hiccup.

"Yes," she replied.

"Has it been confirmed?"

"Yes, his mother noticed it when she was feeding him."

"Ahhh," said Lucian, "Vera, she was such a promising member to our pack."

Amatis smiled, "that she was, till she met that hunter and changed her name so she could live amongst humans," she said the last parts bitterly.

"Yes," said Lucian, wistfully, "but enough of that now, let's get a look at him, shall we?"

Amatis smiled, handing him the baby.

"Small thing, isn't he?" asked Lucian.

"That he is, he would have received lots of scorn for it in his village," said Amatis.

"Well, until he showed them how much more powerful and capable he was, of course," corrected Lucian, "but never mind that, he's part of our pack, like his mother was."

"Yes, speaking of our pack, where are they?" asked Amatis.

"Oh, Kali and Renée are upstairs putting the pups to sleep, Krios and Veda are in the kitchen, and the others are in the meeting room, speaking of which, I bet they're dying to see him, after all, you aren't the only one who missed her," said Lucian.

Amatis smiled at her brother, it was well known that he'd been in love with Vera. He was going to ask her to go out with him the day they'd met the man, whom they'd later, after Vera was married, found out was a hunter. It had crushed him when she'd left, but he was over that now.

He stroked the baby's cheek, "he looks so much like her," he whispered, "but his eyes are a green I've never seen (ooh! That rhymes ;)) not on the man, not on Vera."

"True," said Amatis, "maybe it's just his inner wolf, shaping him, we aren't always copies of our parents, you know."

Lucian sighed, "I know."

Amatis smiled, lifting baby hiccup out of her brother's arms, "I best go show the council, see you later?"

Lucian nodded.
