They sat talking for hours and Amy finally asked softly, "How did your sons die?"
"It's a long story, but it must be started at the beginning if you are to understand. Kirill did not allow us to breed. He wanted no babies and I don't want to imagine what he might have done if one of the females had one. In the early years it's hard for a pup to control their change and for some reason Kirill hated if we were in human form. After he died, things changed and Marcus wanted us to have children. He didn't care if babies changed and he loved all the children and especially Alba's. She was his right-hand man so to speak. I would have had to fight her to the death to become Alpha. It was Marcus' idea for me to marry her. Alba kicked and screamed and felt she could beat me in a fight to the death.
