"What do I not understand? You have asked another Alpha to perform the duties I must for my pack."

"It is just Cronus, there are no such things when it comes to family. We help each other."

"You know how I am, Theia. I do not take aid until I feel that I absolutely need it and you know how our wolves shall look at me if I do choose to be weak this way."

"It is not being weak! It is too late to depart for the hunt, we will lose wolves this way or I will lose you. I am making it easier for us. You need help this winter, Phobos. And also every other winter."

"Every other winter? What have you done, Theia?" He asks cautiously with a hint of disbelief coating his voice.
