Blackfeather Woods eye of the beholder

Burke listened to their conversation as far as he could hear it from the den. His body closely curled around their young. Burke was quite the father if he committed himself. If Burke would commit he would give his all.

Malice went for a drink, which left Cicero with him. His ears flattened as he heard the voice closer. The male stated the obvious. Of course betrayal was the worst from friends. The male was even 'kind' enough to offer him a free pass in hurting him. "Don't make a fool of me now, Cicero," Burke rumbled. Because the previous alpha knew that if Cicero would get hurt Damien would officially kill him in return. He was not falling for that trap.

"You took the side of your brother and what ever more he means to you. Don't play two sides of a card, you might get cut," Burke spoke from the den. He kept his eyes on the entrance because if Cicero would enter Burke would attack. He had no remorse or feeling for the multicolored boy. All was too fresh and Burke was still hurting.
