Viona took Sophia's hair with her to her bedroom. She cried and called Sophia, "My pup … my pup …."
Viona kissed Sophia's hair and sobbed as she knew it was Sophia. It was her blood. The pup she gave birth to and grew of has been dead. There would be no one she could tease with her cooking. Sophia wouldn't ask her to go to the forest to pick wild berries.
"Sophia …. Momma wants to go to your place …. Are you with Daddy now? You will have a little brother or sister, but you won't be able to meet with them. Sophia …." She cried until exhaustion won and fell asleep.
Knowing how bad Viona's state was now, Jock called Giselda through the mind link. 'Hurry, come to my house, Daughter. Your mother needs you.'
Giselda was still on the bed with Zealous. They enjoyed their time as new mates. Zealous loved bedding her, and from morning until three hours later, they spent time on the bed—making love.
