Darker in the light of day

As Pegasus spoke she felt her ears flick back against her head and she had a hard time keeping her eyes on his. The guilt in her gut deepened at the idea that Yale had been though all of this in part because of her family. She knew an apology would do nothing. She was so torn between wanting to help Pegasus get the revenge and the peace he wanted and keeping her children hidden away from the eyes of the wolves that ruined their lives. The sound of her son's large paws moving against the grass pulled her gaze up from the ground before she could respond and she looked at Ulric with her mouth agape. She didn't know where he came from or how much he had overheard. She had plenty of questions rushing through her head at that moment - namely why he had been following her - but for now she had to put that aside. "Ulric! You don't know-" she began, but he cut her off and continued explaining himself to Pegasus. She frowned and stood helpless while Ulric pledged his help and began to question what he could do. "Wait!" she exclaimed, looking between them with a frown. "Wait... just wait a moment." She sighed and shook her head. "You're talking like young, hot-headed men... which is exactly what you are." Roza brought her eyes back to Pegasus with a pause. "I understand why you want revenge. I do too. But to what end? Tell me that. My mate was killed, my children were taken, my pack was destroyed. I've already lost everything. I don't want to loose what little I have left." She hesitated, looking at the face of her dear friend's son. She knew his intentions were in a good place and she couldn't bring herself to tell him no... but she needed to know that they weren't just running into the line of fire. She pulled her shoulders back and pulled in a steadying breath. "I will help. But only if you have a valid plan. We are only three wolves. Maybe four if Philomena wants to help. I'm not just looking out for me and my children, I'm looking out for you too. I can't imagine that Yale would want you to throw your life away in revenge of his." |
