Ravensblood Forest My life ain't filled with worries

Junior opened her mouth to offer herself as a sparring partner, yet before she could, Dante admitted to the fact that he'd had his ass handed to him recently. The yearling blinked. On one hand, it was difficult to imagine anyone getting the better of the rock-steady Alpha. On the other, Junior had always found the plateau's leadership a bit soft. That was why she had taken matters into her own hands with Finley. Of course, she didn't mention any of that now.

While she was still processing that, he clarified his question. Junior bit her lip. Dante would likely not be surprised by her fickleness. Remember, you're supposed to be owning it, an inner voice whispered in her head. You're not fickle, you're adventurous, it added in Saena's voice, causing her lips to twitch into a sheepish smile.

"Things didn't work out," Junior said simply, "so I came back here to support Saena. I'm living with her pack at Redtail Rise." Not only did she want to deflect the attention off her capricious nature, she truly wanted to revisit the reasons behind Dante's daring face-off with the moose, so she added, "But what's this about having your ass handed to you? What happened? I can help you shake off that rust," she offered.
