Joyce probably nine years old right now, but her body as light as a five or six years old child, she was malnourished and was very skinny, so did the other four children that survived.
Aside from Joyce, there was a year old baby, two little girl around the age of two and seven and also a young boy in the age of five. They were in poor condition.
Cane gave his waterskin to them, in which they gulped it down and finished it.
"I am sorry, it's finish…" the boy said sheepishly, but Cane simply ruffled his hair, while Lou stood behind the alpha and watched those pitiful and dirty children. He had clamped his mouth and said nothing, but he stayed away from them too, as if he was afraid they would dirty his cloak, yet a complicated feeling fleeted in his eyes.
