Broken Antler Fen TLC From Home

The bitter-minded woman stayed quiet still, refusing to meet her alphas gaze but taking his words into her mind. He was much gentler, now, but that didn't mean Ambrosia was less bitchy. Seb gave her strict guidelines about it, but instead of her usual sweet thanks, now she just grumbled to herself. 
          I'm not stupid, I raised a pup on my own in the wild for nine months. I think I can keep my wound clean.
The bitter thought surprised her, and the tawny woman thought it best to make her leave now. With a few curt, clipped words given his way, she turned and walked towards the Cove. 
                          "Thank you, Alpha."
Tonight, she planned on doing exactly what she said she would: eating and resting her travel-worn paws, regain her strength and find Brandy later on.
