Daddy Issues

Burke was proud to hear that Meldresi sided wit him, well at least it seemed that way. This wolf had to respect them both. He thought Meldresi came stand by him to look more powerful but then she whispered the words that he should leave. It left him baffled he was definitely not leaving. He was the alpha, and she wasn't. He couldn't pretend that. She was his mate so he would not openly disrespect her but he wasn't her Beta anymore. And he wasn't leaving. Burke was stubborn and even though as a Beta he might go against his own stubbornness now he would not. He was the alpha and he had been leading this pack for her when she was missing and not while she was pregnant. He was not going to leave with a stranger on his border what impression would that make!?

He glanced to the side at Meldresi and shook his head lightly at her whisper. His pale eyes then returned to Keith. "He already disrespected both of us on our borders so I think I am done talking to him. You are not needed here and if you want to speak to Meldresi you can say it to me too. We don't have any secrets for each other. Leave in silence or leave and stay what you need to say," Burke returned to the pale male before him, clearly his mood was worsening and that wasn't only because of Keith. Frankly he felt slightly disrespected by his mate too. They were equals and Burke was pouring all his life in keeping her fed, taking care of her and the pack running. She should show a bit more gratitude instead of sending him away like a subordinate. Naturally he would not show that towards Keith, but he was not leaving.
