The news that Lillian was pregnant with a boy was received well by everyone in the Ironclad Claws Pack, particularly the matriarch Lucrethia Woodland.
The peace that followed was short-lived because Lucrethia then started asking what Ronan Silverback planned to do with this great news.
Conrad Woodland, sweating from nervosity, told his mother that, "Ronan was a mated werewolf. He, if not his whole pack, might need a few days to properly chewed the news and decide what to do next."
Lucrethia tilted her head up and pinned her son with a stare along the bridge of her nose.
"Are you not a father with an unwed daughter who is pregnant with another Alpha's son? Should you not do something to push Alpha Ronan?"
In the end, Conrad Woodland caved and did what his mother wanted him to do. He submitted a plea to the Werewolf Council to mediate between all the relevant parties: Conrad, his daughter Lillian, Alpha Ronan, and also Alpha Ronan's mate, Lucien Clearwater.
