Breaking Ways

That she did not think her daughter deserving of forewarning or input irked him a little, but he let it slide. As for earning her freedom - he could see how little she regarded his pack law there. He frowned harder. She knew how badly he needed to keep and protect those he allowed himself feeling over. He had done more than welcome her into his pack, he had welcomed her into his heart. Trusted her. As for winning in a fight… she was an old warrior, but she had disabilities, and he had advantages. He would place it a solid 60/50, in his favour. Not odds he normally liked, but the risk was higher in Resins’s court.

He let his breath out in a soft sigh. If it wasn’t Resin he wouldn’t even consider it. Her smug assurity bothered him, but in the grand scheme of things, she had pulled through when he needed her. “For all that you’ve done under the Armada, I will give you this right to leave unchallenged. You are first and foremost my friend, and as your pack finds its feet and grows, you can count on us for protection.” he said softly, eyes dropping as he tucked away the whirlwind of emotions this brought with him. He had already lost Deathbelle to his idiocy, lost Malalia to…. Who knew what. Now he was to lose Resin too? He would not admit how much this hurt him.
