His parents were found together. I told Lily to take comfort in that part at least, they would have wanted to leave this world together. She didn’t speak, just held the sleeping toddler tight. I knew she felt for him, she connected to him. I had a few pack members set up the room connected to ours for him. If any could understand and help the little guy overcome this, it would be her, and I didn’t think she would be willing to let anyone else have him anyways. He had no other family except this pack. His grandparents were killed in the last battle, and his parents were only children.

The little guy hadn’t said a word. Lily thought he was in shock, she knew the feeling all too well. He was too young to be able to go through something so horrific and be able to understand what was happening.

We lost nine in total. Nine members of my pack that will never be around again. Nine senseless deaths. We came across ten of theirs, I don’t understand how they could so carelessly throw away the lives of so many. This had to stop, I will not keep losing members of my pack… of my family.

After the service, I walked Lily and our new little room-mate back to our rooms. She was silent, lost in thought I suppose. I watched with soft eyes as she tucked the little guy in and kissed his forehead before cracking the door and sitting on our bed.

“He has no surviving family.” I start gently. “As the Alpha pair, it’s our job to determine the best family for him to go to.” She looked up through tears. “I think the best person to raise him is you.” She started to protest but I held up a hand. “You know what he will be going through, you know how best to help him. If anyone can take care of that little boy… it’s you.”

“I don’t know how to be a mother.” Her voice was soft, the silly girl. “I’m too young, he’s needs someone smarter… older.”

“You have had him in your arms since the fight. You haven’t let him go. You can do this, I know you can.” I sat beside her and put my arms around her as she leaned into my chest. “We always knew we would have pups, this is just a little sooner. You will make a great mom Lily. I know it and so does everyone else. He’s young, he will be okay. But only with the right person helping him grow up. That’s you. You have already proven that you can do this. You placed those children’s lives first today, you protected them and comforted them.” She would make a wonderful mom, I knew it… she just needed to know it to. “The pack loves having pups around they will all help raise him. He won’t have any shortage in love, that’s for sure.”
