She had to admit, it seemed like a tempting prospect, at least partially. Three of Daneliya’s children were dead, and two were missing. If Calvin and Snowflake were dead, that would make five. Should she meet her death on this battlefield, she could see them again. Not to mention the rumors of the Fire Queen of Sindri. Athena, the Mad Fire Queen. Dead, killed in battle to prevent Sindri from dying. Athena, Queen of Sindri . . . there was a seventy percent chance she was Remus and Danya’s sister, and they’d never known. Tiberias she could see again. Perhaps Larentia, too?
But that left her brother, her nieces and nephews and her remaining children, and her sister-in-law. And it seemed that there was a rumor she was a grandmother, through Kelsea.
She would not die today.
Chickadee was divebombing the Tarben warriors; Derevko was violently beating her wings at anyone who got close to the two of them. Claws and teeth were involved, too. As Daneliya watched, her daughter descended on a girl who was obviously of Beartooth’s couplings with Soraya, whether a daughter or granddaughter. Derevko’s claws left deep scores in the girl’s shoulders, which made Danya shudder.
But she’d like to keep on living, if only for her brother and his children, and her own. She dove into the mess, the utter cacophony. Chickadee flew alongside her, shouting, “Mother - behind you!!” Daneliya whirled to face another wolf.
