Pack affinity stuck?

So my wolf died of old age (RIP) and I decided to continue his legacy as his mate. I'm in growing pups stage so I literally don't have the time to find a new mate yet but the problem is that my pack affinity seems stuck at 75%. No matter how much playing or interacting with subordinates and pups I do. Is it a bug or a feature? I mean, I'd understand if it was a feature, like my current wolf is the mother only of the current litter, the rest of subordinates and yearlings are not her children so it'd make sense she has less "authority" over them. Anyone else have this issue?
