Justice For All Time

He waited patiently for Justice to figure it out and think it through. When the penny dropped and she got it, he nodded darkly. “Yes. Her.”

He let her vent her answer, listening calmly. Finally, he rose and faced his muzzle toward the north, squinting at the wall as she fell silent. His gaze turned back to Justice and he gave her an almost savage grin, teeth bared.

“I take the harm done to this pack seriously. I regret having to let them go when they ran south, but at the end I had a pack here I had to govern. So I had to turn back.” He gazed hard at her features and said, firmly, “I give you and your siblings leave to do what you will with this wolf. Make that bitch dearly regret the day she messed with Celestial, and make it clear that running away can only save you for so long.”

His tail gave a sharp lash behind him before he glanced Northward again. “They’ve returned to the place Marina was maimed and raped at. And by what Aello tells me, there are more than the two. Tread carefully. I’ve no doubt you can take that beast on and win, but even the biggest and best can be overcome by numbers.”

He didn’t doubt that she’d probably drown the wisdom out. It was one of her worst habits and one she’d need to learn to quit if she wanted to rise in rank.
