Meldresi said nothing as Burke spoke, her brow furrowing as the anger that she thought would be quelled rose once more. She silently drank in his words, blinking only once or twice before she realized her mistake and turned away. She remained turned from his glance for a while, silently embarrassed, until Burke tempted her with food. Meldresi responded with a curt: "Fine." Rising to her feet and walking after him, promising herself that she would return to her rightful duties as Alpha as soon as possible. She had founded this pack, and it was hers by right and — though she loved her mate — she did not want anyone else taking that title from her, circumstances or not.
