Sunbeam Lair Coming Back

Nothing said had been denied or argued against, only accepted. While she was glad the other female understood that what she did had been wrong, her overall disappointment outweighed even that. Every member that was welcomed into their ranks had given to both Asterr and the entire tribe their pledge of loyalty, but even still, some went so far as to break the informal oath. Often, she wished simply for them to return, telling to herself that she would be capable of accepting them once more, but for the second time she'd done the opposite. To immediately grant the other entry into her home was something she simply could not do, for she could not so easily get passed the broken vow.

"I do not trust you," came her statement, simple and direct. She knew no other way to word it, no gentler way to get across what it was that she currently felt. "How can I be sure that you will not leave us without warning again?" In truth, she knew she could never be sure, even if a promise was made. Things changed as time passed them by, as did every wolf. Never could one accurately predict the future, and that was something she'd just have to live with.
