Sleeping Dragon the end of a bloodline

He listens as she speaks, taking in every words as she explains her reasoning for trusting these wolves. Her answer should have swayed him, should have brought him to trust these strangers he would come to know and take commands from. But Tanja could not bring himself to accept her decision, for any wolf that did not have the blood of Seageda flowing through their veins was unworthy to follow under Heda's reign. This he believed with all his heart. 

He took a deep breath as her last words reached his ears. "I trust you...but I do not trust them" he admits, allowing a second to slip by before adding "not yet." It would think take time for Tanja to ever grow to trust the wolves his commander has come to believe are loyal to her. And even time might not be enough to bring the male to have faith in the wolves of this land, for they were strangers to him and any stranger was considered a threat.
