Stone Circle he's got a face to make you fall on your knees

Had the stranger voiced his assumption on Steady and Valette being blood related, Steady would have felt proud. He knew how hard Valette worked for him and her family, and there were even inclinations in the back of his mind that told him she would be an excellent fit for Beta. No one would deny it, lest they wanted to incur his wrath. But, he still had hope that Ezekiel would return. And, though, he knew the pair was close, he didn't want Ezekiel to think he had simply replaced him, and so quickly. 

The stranger, named Sriracha, informed him that they were settling down nearby, and wanted to offer friendship. Steady outwardly sighed in relief, and gave him a smile. Friendship was always better than war, in his opinion. I think a friendship sounds like an excellent idea, he agreed aloud. My family and I are not generally fighters, unless we have reason. We've just moved here to get away from a crowded area, and it is not my intention to step on anyone's toes, he explained, hoping that their surprise claim wouldn't be cause for friction between the packs.
