The world was at peace for Maleah. How ever strange a twist it might seem, she had Aleiku - the cub who should never have survived - as her mate. She had two perfect cubs resting right now, all nestled by her body.

Why had she concerned herself so much? Aleiku had always been right. The world had a way of taking care of matters. Whatever happened happened for a good reason, it would all set out right.

She nuzzled the darlings by her, "But I am a part of nature, and it is my job to be concerned and go forward that way." She still thought Aleiku was too lackadasial.

She purred at her cubs, knowing already how they were, without them being old enough for them to have time to show her. The daughter would be more like her father. The son would be more as she was. But it was a necessary balance, those that took things as harmony and those that thought they were part of the harmony.

"It couldn't be better." She murmured, setting her head down beside them.
