face the consequences

Rhyme was glad to have been helpful in extending their relationship with Lirim, Frostbite seemed to be a relatable wolf. He had recently become a father as well. They had more chance of developing a beneficial relationship with Lirim than Legion, not that Shaye was expecting any different the tone of her voice and the content of her speech only confirmed that. He nodded in agreement, other than strained familial ties there was little common goal, and downright resentment. If you were an Imperialis you were supposed to hate Abaven.

He pushed them from his mind again and focused on the good news Shaye shared with him. Abaven continued to grow, and they had new hunters now. Rhyme would have to make time to meet their new pack mates. He returned her smile, feeling his confidence trickle back. Abaven was flourishing under their care, and that was nothing to be ashamed of. "They have a great alpha to thank for that." He teased her with a hint of a smile. Shaye really was the catalyst for becoming one of the largest packs in Boreas.
