The commander's reply, though honest, made a strange feeling curdle in Wildfire's chest. She took a breath. Her lips parted to say something but Thuringwethil wasn't finished yet. She warned the Bandrona that some might not take the news well. She nodded perfunctorily, her mouth pressing into a thin, pensive line. She remained mum for several beats.
"I get it. It's not exactly orthodox, regardless of the pack's culture," Wildfire pointed out quietly. She paused. "But I'm not scared or ashamed. I want to be with you." Her voice shook a little, so she paused again, then continued more steadily. "And they should know, whether or not they agree with it. They deserve—um—honesty." She faltered. "The truth. And the truth is that we're in love. Right?" She hated how insecure she sounded there at the end, after speaking so candidly from the heart for a few minutes there, but Wildfire couldn't help it. Her amber eyes bored imploringly into the commander's blackened features as her teeth dug into her lip.
