The words that came from the sand colored Nomad male caused all gentleness to vanish from the suddenly frigid deep blue eyes. Slowly, the snowy female would rise from her seated position, deep blue gaze locking with the tawny gold male?s gaze. There was no outward sign of the rage swirling like ice through her veins. Not unless you looked into those eyes. When she spoke, her voice was calmly, cuttingly civil, and colder than glacial winds. ?Do you remember the stories of the Fall of Redwood?? There was something in her voice, like caverns and midnight, and her volume raised not one octave above normal speaking volume. A wind whipped across the plains, tugging at her thick fur. Perhaps it was the trick of one?s imagination, but did it carry a chill? Thunder rolled far off as the Alpha Primary stepped forward, coming nose to nose with the male, deep blue gaze glazed and icy. ?By your scent, you are five years of age. My brother would have been taken into your pack long before you were ever born. I was a yearling, eight years ago, wandering the lands of Calarada, Homeless, having just seen my pack strewn dead upon the ground, told to run for my life by the brother I had thought just died. You have the gall to come and insult my pack, and my Theta Primary. Here in Alacritis, the best is me. Get off of your high throne, youngling, and earn the respect you so greatly think you deserve, or get out of my territory and never return. You think My being here As an Alpha is a tiny accomplishment? You Know nothing.? Her head jerked back, and she turned with a glance toward Imena that said to go back to her business. ?I have no need for students fresh off of full training who think they know all there is to life. True training comes from life experience, the loss of your first patient, and fighting your first battle to protect your patient. Grow up, Altavro of the Nomads. Your younger pack mates show better respect than you have shown anyone this day. While we have need for healers, we need wolves who will respect those they know nothing about until given a true reason to not respect them.? She didn?t leave quite yet, giving the male time to apologize if he wished. A glance to Imena told the Theta to hold back any retaliatory responses she might have for the moment. |
