if you wanna get out alive

Runaway slave? That certainly fit with her emotional state. If she had committed a crime that marked her as a slave then he could be helping someone Naiche really shouldn’t be. What had he butted his head into? She didn’t seem the type to have intentionally committed a crime worthy of it. Appearances were deceiving. Naiche was growing more sure of that truth every day.
What did Naiche even think of slavery in packs? It was a thing that existed, it was part of a hierarchy that some used so it certainly wasn’t to be labeled as evil. Perhaps how Naiche felt about it went more by how a slave was treated and what had earned its rank. A wolf who would be caught and dragged in as a slave certainly had a right to try and escape. One who committed an unforgivable sin such as killing another packmate could be tortured until they begged for death. So how much did he know about what she deserved from her explanation?
“Well, for tonight he won’t find you. I’ve got a good nose, keen ears, and plenty of energy to stay alert while you sleep.” There was no sympathetic warmth or any mush to the statement, just confirming he wasn’t worried about her master. Funny. If he was coming after he maybe Naiche should be? Oh well. Naiche was going to keep his word. Outside of his pack he felt no moral necessity to tell the truth, but in this instance it felt wrong to break his word.
Naiche constantly went with trusting his gut, which was sometimes right and sometimes not. It was a plan of action however and better than being uncertain. So he decided to believe this one was right to try and gain her freedom. That was all well and good except she wasn’t likely to survive the way things were going. She would need a pack to take care of her, but Naiche had no plans to invite her into the armada. No weakling would get into his pack. There were limits to how nice he would be.
The young wolf remained quiet and alert. If the shy wolf actually decided to talk he would, but otherwise he just waited on silent vigil. She would be under his protection until the first bit of light was seen.
