It ain't good enough to try and not succeed

Ragnar didn't try to evade the question or come up with a lie - he admitted his actions without feeling shame or guilt. The fact that he had decided not to tell her everything was understandable, because at the time, when the meeting had taken place, his status in the pack would be jeopardized. Now, when the deal had been made and sealed, he wasn't in any danger. Clever thinking and, even though she didn't like the fact that he had done, what he had done, she liked the logic and would probably have done the very same thing, in case she ever was in his position.

"Details do not matter," she dismissed the subject, for there was nothing else to add to it. Children would belong to the pack, once they were born, whoever was on their paternal side was of no importance. "Can I trust you to be honest in another question?" Pump asked and paused a little to give him time to think about it. Whether he chose to be so or not was entirely up to him. "People like you and me rarely do anything for wholly selfless reasons. We have our own motives to drive our actions, therefore... tell me, what is that you really want?"
