Nobody understood what made Ciar choose Aoife as their heir. The pack's leader was secretive enough, with secrets they wouldn't divulge even to their own daughter - so why would anyone else think they'd get an explanation?
Even Aoife herself had no idea. What had made her, out of the 6 pups in her litter, so special that her mother had instantly lit up upon seeing her? What made her so special that she was always the favorite, and the only pup who hadn't been allowed to leave for another pack?
