Deadly 777 Writing Challenge - P.L. Parker

Keeping the fun going - seven lines from my current work in progress, the third in my Riley's Journey, Into the Savage Dawn series.  No name yet but considering The Portal or perhaps Flight of the Hawk:

Did she have a man? She was certainly old enough to be mated but he could tell by her form, she’d not yet given birth. Perhaps she was barren! If she had a man, it was of no consequence. He would take her if necessary and sire a brood of children with her as his mate. She will be lucky to have me! And why not? I am unmated. I’m strong, a great hunter and warrior, and someday I will be chief. He would take her as his first mate and when her breeding days were over, he’d take a younger female as a second mate and perhaps a third if need be. But before he claimed the female, he must fulfill the promise he made to the old grandfather.
