Riverbone's antics confused her. There was a darkness in his gaze that she'd never felt from her alpha before, and gone was the loving, fatherly affection that she was used to receiving from him. He must be mad at me. For running away from him. The thought made her chest burn while her blood turned icy in her veins. He had never been angry with her before - she'd always been the child of his heart, if not that of his blood. All his children had been sons, and he had loved her like a precious gift from the day of her birth.
She stared hard at the man, fearful but unblinking. What would he do to her?
But she needn't have worried. Soon enough, he came near to her as he always had, and she gave a sigh of relief as she sank down before him. He's forgiven me. I'm safe again.
"Have you any alliances, doctor?" he asked, and Doctor gazed up at him, slack-jawed. He had certainly changed. Perhaps he was not Riverbone anymore. He didn't smell the same, hardly looked the same, and acted very differently. Did he remember her at all?
"You know them all, Appeh," she said gently, trying to help him remember. "I belonged to you in the dry lands before this place, and here - you've come to claim me again." Didn't he know this? Why else would he have come to these lands, and without her brother, her mother, his wife and his sons?
This was clearly a different wolf - not her appeh. He'd come different to these lands, as she had, and no longer knew the wolf he'd been in the dry lands where he'd been her king. "You do not have these memories," Doctor said to him, realizing her mistake. "What shall I call you now?"
