The Sentinels It's one love

He hoped she wasn't too put out in keeping it quiet, but he felt better when she agreed to only tell Blue.  He didn't mind if the alpha pair both knew - and the rest would find out eventually.  But the less that were waiting hopefully, the more luck he felt.  "Thanks," he said gratefully, happy she would humor him in his crazy. 

He ducked his head at her deserved chiding, ready to explain further.  "It wasn't exactly planned.  I happened to pass by and one had escaped."  He grinned despite himself at the recollection.  "I think those two have their paws full.  I just got her back into the den."  It was a short interaction but had left him with a healthy want for more.  "I think it is finally going, maybe.  It's been less."  It no longer bothered him in every day activities, though still he did not push himself just yet.  Hunts were perilous things even at full capability.
