Sunbeam Lair It’s not so hard now, you’ve got it all

Asterr's voice falls to the void, too weak to even make it out out of the den, and the sentinel stands. Damien stays put, respecting the other male's right to keep Asterr safe, but his comment catches him off guard. It proved how very little he even knew about Asterr. Her mate, one Damien had never even heard of, had now to be added into the equation, and Damien wasn't so sure he lied the idea... Or did he?

"Her Mate," he repeats curtly, "Didn't look like she had one when she came looking for me in heat," he comments, the sass in his words perhaps too dangerous for his context. But he hadn't thought of that in the moment, his blood boiling almost instantly at the suggestion of 'offering support'. Was it not enough that he'd come all the way from Blackfeather Woods to welcome his pups to the world?
