Daddy Issues

Meldresi was caught off guard when Keith asked her to be alone. "Alone?" She repeated, glaring at him, her fiery eyes matching Burke's icy ones in intensity. Not only did she hate the fact that a wolf was lingering so close to her territory, but this was the man who had abandoned her children, her pack, and herself. Whatever had truly happened, he was still a traitor.

"Burke, go. I shall speak to Keith alone, as he requested." She commanded, knowing that Burke would linger nearby and listen in. He would not abandon her so quickly, even if she asked him to.
