Let My People Go

Finally Bass began to explain what had happened. About halfway through his speech, Valen began to pace. He was largely unaware of what he was doing, his attention equally divided to both listen to Bass and to trying to unravel the mystery. Only one wolf of his wore a skull and that was Hati. But why? Hati couldn't possibly know anything about Rhythm. Even if he had found out about her somehow, why would he go after her? He couldn't possibly think Valentine would let him keep her considering their relationship, so why? And if he had taken his alpha's love interest in the hopes of spiting him and starting something, why hadn't he come directly to him? Bass shouldn't have been able to beat the victor home, especially in his condition. Why, why, why? "... why else would someone from your pack come for her?" Finally Valentine spoke, "I don't know. No one even knows about Rhythm and I excep-" He froze as a small thread, a tiny connection, made itself known to him. Cascade. He'd even told her- no. Valentine's teeth gnashed together as his theory began to fall into place. He'd even given her permission -albeit, sarcastically- to try to win Rhythm over. He continued his agitated pacing, his jaw working and his overall demeanor suggesting an intense inner struggle. "No," he agreed sharply, "It's not okay and yes, it is a big deal." Finally he stopped before Bass. "I have a theory and I'm sorry you and Rhythm got caught in the middle of this." He fixed Bass with a piercing gaze, his anger not directed at the other but simply leaking through. "If you would allow it, I'd like one of my healers to look you over. In the meantime I'll sort it out." |
NOTE: Valentine has a female striped skunk companion named Lefty. Unless stated otherwise assume she's present.
