Greatwater Lake God Damn it, I miss you.

Misty wasn't all that surprised when he burst out like that, who knew how much anger he was penting up inside himself. "I didn't ask you to. Unlike your beliefs, I care more about finding her than listening to your problems. I function that way because even though I need love myself, I care about survival. It seems like the pack is nonfunctional without Meldresi so my number one priority as a newcomer is finding the Alpha female. Don't worry, I'm not telling anyone else in the pack. I'm not that kind of wolf. I can go alone if you prefer. I work better on my own anyway. I think of it as a mission, not a favor or anything personal. Deal with it." Wow, the last time Misty had said that much or been so cold was when a loner challenged her for her territory, before Skyshire had come into the picture. She had been a stubborn, mean little pup. How she had changed since then.
