"He already has a sibling." Kaleeth commented, placing her hand gently onto Janius' shoulder. "He and Rhazii are as close as brothers. Really, it's a lot the same way here as it was in my village. Hatchlings were raised by the whole village, so everyone became family, in a sense. Since blood relationships are so rare in lycan clans, I guess it makes sense that the same thing happens. Anyway, I think Newt will be happy growing up just as things are now. I don't regret having him for a second; like you said, it's the most rewarding thing I've ever done. It's just...I want to be safe, you know? Plus, I'd like to know what we're in for with Newt before we do anything else. He's still only a few years old.

Kaleeth lowered her head, staring down at the water. "Really, I just regret that my parents won't be able to see him. I know they'd love to meet their grandson. I think even my father would smile if he saw his cute little face, no matter what he thinks of you. Even if I could just let them know that they even [i]have[/i] a grandson to begin with, I would be happy. But, I can't send them letters like Sabine does with her sister. No one delivers to nomadic tribes in the middle of the swamp. I asked."
