Phoenix Maplewood i'm not throwing away my shot

Ukko could barely listen to the words Reek gave him before he went back to chewing on his bone. Laika soon disappeared after that and he barely got a chance to talk to her. Another time, he’d see her again, but for now he’s glad she left when she did. He wishes she hadn’t shown up at all but perhaps she didn’t even notice the exchange at hand and what it meant. 

He gives one last look over at the older male, unable to stomach anymore of the cache, and turns his shoulder. He’s not a beta to him, either, just like Saena. A joke, he’d go as far to admit, but his title means nothing to them. A large breath is released as he moves, leaving the alpha behind.
