Wolf-Form
When her Grandfather transformed his body into that of a full wolf, she knew he was getting older. Young warriors almost never used a beast form unless it was to blend into their surroundings. Old wolves however, used the animal’s form to keep them healthier in old age.
Expectations were different for mothers, though. For example, Ayame could only feed two of her three pups at a time. If all of them got hungry at the same time, she had to change forms.
It always surprised Kouga when he came back and found her as a white wolf nursing all three children.
“You know we could have one of the other wolves do that, it’s not an uncommon practice.”
“I know, but I want to bond with them. I want them to know me as their mother.”
“It just makes me nervous when you’re in that form. You’re vulnerable like that. What if something dangerous came in here?”
“Then I’ll protect my young with all my might.”
He scratched her ears.
When the children were fed, she reverted to normal. She clasped her armor back on.
“Isn’t it easier for new mothers to ignore their armor and just wear pelts while they nurse?” Kouga asked.
“It is, but this armor is a part of me, too. I don’t want to remove it. I don’t want to be any less respected as the co-leader now that I’ve become a mother. Giving up the armor is like giving up my power.”
“You won’t be less respected. The elders still have more respect for you than they do for me. I may be running things now, but to them, I’m still the outsider who stole you and is usurping authority for the old man.”
“Some people will never change,” Ayame said gently.
