It would be a quick flight for him to reach the den but Rune would not arrive at her side quite so quick if this male turned hostile. There was a subtle change in his demeanor and she once again felt like he was familiar in some way? He moved towards her and she took an uncertain step backwards.

He seemed to be deep in thought, and she shifted her weight not sure what to do. He spoke again and she pulled her tail slightly between her legs. How much should she say? Is it possible that this man had a vendetta against her mate? She wondered why he wouldn't tell her if this was true?
