“Even the Crackling Sea Eyrie's reeve, whose consort and interests were exclusively male, had felt the pressure to father a small flock of children. She understood that pressure.

“Staring at the soft fur of his stomach, listening to his heart beat, it required a different gryphon to have the strength of will to operate the saw. She was not that gryphon, and not a day went by when she didn't wish she'd pushed Mignet up at the cost of her own life. The way her pride ha treated her had made her cold and cruel like the ice that had taken her lover, but Satra was not that gryphon.

She stood up and kicked the saw away from Jonas with a bloody paw.”

“She’d killed him.
Not just killed him – she’d never actually considered letting him live once the fight had begun. She knew he would never have backed down to her or any of the taiga gryphons.
