Hushed Willows What To Do With These Weary Bones

Nova Rose kept her silvery, worn out eyes on the alpha female, but found she could be nothing but numb and cold. Undermining Octavia? Putting Tamborine in danger? 
Was Reek such a vengeful person as to come back in ill favor? She couldn't be sure, of course, but it didnt seem so. Why would he want to hurt the son he seemed to care so much to get. If she so much as scented the dark, scraggly male in the area, the alarm would be sounded and she'd confront the bastard herself. 
           "I meant nothing but to let him know you were gone for good, Tavi, to not bother coming to try and take you back. I would never put the boy in danger, no matter my opinions. If Reek were to come around I'd chase him away myself after blowing his cover."
Sure, she might've been irritated with the woman, but the pup was top priority: there would never be enough anger to put any mother in a position where she would run the risk of losing a child. Not after knowing the pain itself.
