Mission accomplished, she thought, finding she couldn't wait to report back to Charon with the news of a successful delivery. She was really making herself into a true pack diplomat.

It felt odd, referring to her parents by their names, yet she had done it to make a point. Dante would know what she meant.

After a moment, she added, "Why do you ask?" She kept her voice light, red head tilting.
