Yes.
Ivory had come back with a person.
She had gone into the woods and eliminated an entire family, save for a young boy.
—A young boy she named Alphine.
Surprisingly, her family didn't mind that she brought home a person instead of an animal.
In fact, her father saw this and smiled. He congratulated her for the effort.
At first, Ivory was cruel to him, attempting to treat him like she saw her mates treat their pets.
But he would not respond.
Even feeding him did no good. Then again, this was expected, as she did kill his entire family.
Regardless, things progressed. And over time, he eventually warmed up to her.
Surprisingly, the two shared a deep bond.
She named him Alphine, like the flower that grew regardless of its very toxic environment.
They would sit under the stars and plan their future together.
She believed with Alphine by her side, she could even reach the sky.
