Stone Circle daddy did you think that you could outrun the holy ghost

Murdock watched the other wolf leave, a sense of satisfaction warming the cockles of his heart. He realized that part of him did feel wronged by Ezekiel - but it was the part that belonged to Stephie. How could any father leave such a perfect angel without a father figure?

Moo is papa, yes?

An irritable huff escaped the male as he thought back on the poor girl's confused, innocent query. Murdock had been through a lot in his life, but he'd never had to wonder who his sire was, and he'd never had to doubt the man's love. Not even in Mud's dying days.

Murdock wouldn't see eye-to-eye with Ezekiel until he started acting like the sort of father Stephie deserved.
