Redtail Rise A rose by any other name

The two were clearly excited about something. Saena was inexperienced in matters of the heart and therefore didn't immediately catch on to what was going on. She nodded when Wynter expressed a desire to speak with her and seated herself, indicating it was an informal meeting. She ranked above both of them, obviously, but there was no point in showing it here. They were all friends, after all, and Saena had nothing to prove to them right now, as they had nothing to prove to her right now.

Her attention was on Reek as Wynter gave him the floor. He was practically rocking on the spot, grinning from ear to ear, and she could understand why as soon as he spoke. Just before the beaming, stubby tail wagging Alpha could congratulate the pair on their happy marriage, however, Reek spoke again, this time uttering a trigger word that made Saena immediately rigid.

Pups. She had warned them about getting pregnant, and though it had been mostly in jest, now it sounded like Reek was confirming that they'd done exactly what she'd told them not to, or at least attempted to. She misunderstood, naturally, but that didn't stop her smile from vanishing.

"You don't mean to tell me you... already did "it"... without asking?" Saena asked as she glanced anxiously between them, displaying for once an ability to check her facts before flying off the handle. And if they had, she most definitely would be flying off the handle. She hoped that that wasn't the case, though, because she rather liked Reek and Wynter and didn't want to have to deal with such an early act of rebellion and disrespect from wolves she considered friends. She was more than happy to hear of their mateship, but pregnancy was an entirely different beast.
