when a heart is broken

Burke looked at Lusa and was pleased to see that she didn't correct him. Burke looked at her. "Times were different then, Lusa. You just arrived and what you call a 'soft pack' might not be a soft pack. Never underestimate anyone. And you are very lucky Ohen brought your pup to Bearclaw. Instead of taking bad about them I should reconsider to at least be a bit grateful, if not to the pack, but at least to his horrible Scarlett woman. I don't like her either but what she did was a favor to us. Like she said. We are even now. She came here a few times for help and after that she helped one of our own. We do not hate or like them. They are neutral to us. Just like ever other pack they aren't allowed close to our ground,' Burke spoke.

"Let's go inside and have a meal. Tomorrow I might come and pick Chevalier up so we can start toughening him up. He is getting soft natured because of that Scarlett."
