Over the next few days, Mazelina did talk to other females, usually spending most of the daylight hours with them in deep conversation about their mating ceremonies. At first, she was appalled at how they allowed the pack to be there during something so intimate and private, but then she began to understand how connected it made the pack feel to them.
She noticed Marth had tried to reach her, but one of the six hauled him away every time. Mazelina didn't want to talk to him, didn't want to hear what he has to say about Turk. She was content to be left alone and let the females tell her stories.
