Darker than blood

Kapvik seemed to not approve of their methods, which was simply to kill any and all trespassers. If they were too near to the borders, that as their own damn fault. If they were respectful and hung back, away from the Spine, they'd have much better chances of leaving with their lives. Or joining them. For his seeming incoherence, Kroc thought him foolish, and if he slipped up and allowed a trespasser to get away with their life, she would correct him. Painfully. 

For all her thoughts, she did not stop him leaving and instead lingered with her Alpha comfortably. No words broke their shared silence, nor did any thoughts or feelings complicate things. It was an easy companionship, one that lead to them soaking in the cool of the pond, letting the heat of the day finally seep away. 

Thread fade?!
