Take my life

There was a huff, or more of a sigh, of defeat when the leader looked into his eyes and told him that it was the pack rules. He needed to be patient, which was not something he was good at.

There was a hint of disappointment in his voice but then he changed to an almost challenging tone. "But I'm holdin' you to your word. I'll bring this up again on my first birthday on the dot." He gave a goofish grin and a small laugh.
