i'm in trouble now

Delaeni stood there, her body tense with nerves as she remained silent. Her teal eyes darted between the two women before her - Azoula, with a steely gaze and Mila, with a softer one. The weight of the tigress's questions hung in the air like a storm cloud, and Delaeni could feel the tension coiling around them like a snake ready to strike. She was acutely aware of the delicate balance of the situation, torn between her unwavering loyalty to Azoula and the responsibility she felt toward Mila's well-being. The air crackled with unspoken words, and Delaeni struggled to find her voice amidst the brewing conflict.

Azoula's persistent questioning continued to stir a flurry of thoughts in Delaeni's mind. Each word uttered by Mila was carefully weighed and measured for its potential consequences. Tension coiled like a spring within her, hoping that Mila would handle the situation with delicacy and tact. The wild dog knew she could not reveal too much, but at the same time, she couldn't bear to abandon the newfound bond she shared with the lost wolf.

In the hushed stillness, the only sound was the soft rustle of Delaeni's breath as she waited with bated breath for the next turn of events. Every nerve in her body hummed with tension, caught up in the uncertain stillness of the moment.
