Blackfeather Woods This should have happened ages ago

Burke lowered his lip over his teeth, gathering his inner calmness again after he noticed that the young wolf was starting to lose his arguments. The male had let his own rage out, calming down enough to watch the boy with his therapist eye. He looked pretty broken but not in a way it couldn't be fixed. Yet, Burke wasn't sure if he wanted to help him. This wolf was like .. two years old? Maybe three? And here he was acting like a child in need of guidance. Maybe the wolf before him did need his guidance to get through life. He hadn't realized he was that important to the boy. Then again, Burke thought about his own father and how fond he was of him. He let out a sigh at the same time as Sebastian did.

"I would have done what exactly, Sebastian?," he returned to him, expression slightly annoyed. Burke did get the feeling that Sebastian was quite done with blaming him at least. "Darius did nothing all day. I thought while I was out hunting or patrolling the borders he could play father to all you guys," he stated. Not that Burke had checked on the fact if Darius was a father to them. For Burke it had been just easier to avoid the mess had created and make it right by at least giving them life. If he was truly heartless as wolves often thought he was, he would have killed them all. He would have ripped them from their mother and killed them on the spot. Yet, often Burke let wolves think that. They would stay away, clearly Sebastian thought differently about that.
