He was worried about being accepted there, she was sure, but she was completely confident that Rhyme and Shaye would jump at the chance to have a wolf like him in Abaven. He'd fit in so well. She'd never have guessed that he was shy... but it just made her smile fondly at him. "I understand wanting to join your brother's pack, but can you guarantee we'd have a home there? Abaven needs me, and I'm already a part of the pack. I've got a good chance to be lead warrior. I feel like I can do a lot of good there, and our pups would have a stable home. I can't just leave now."
