Stone Circle acquaintances

Though Mirabelle did not know it (come to think of it, Day didn't think he'd ever mentioned it to Amber, either) and Day did not parade it, he was, in fact, the third-highest-ranking wolf within the pack. Day saw the rank more as a higher level of responsibility than elevated status, having come from a very lax background in all this, but he still did not miss the pride in the other woman's stance. His first instinct was to dislike her for this, but the male remembered again his easy dissmissal of Valette.

"Pleasure," said Grayday as he was introduced, and this time, there was less of a growl in his tone. The male shot his wife a sheepish glance, inviting her to share in his amusement at his overreaction. And, although he'd just as soon keep all other wolves away from his kids until they were old enough not to die if you breathed on them wrong, Day allowed a small wag of his tail at the woman's offer. "We'll be sure to call if we need you," he replied, shooting another look Amber's way. It would be up to her, of course, to decide whether or not Belle was needed.
