The Heartwood Apologies

Majesty snorted with contempt as he watched Lecter move away from him. "You are a coward. And I do not have to show any kind of respect to you. Not anymore. I thought you should know that I am leaving soon. Going off to start my own pack. Then I will be rid of you and your ilk. I'm sure that pleases you - as it does me."

He smirked at Lecter, puffing out his chest. Inside, he knew he was acting like an idiot, and was cursing himself. He was not acting like his usual gentlemanly self and it bothered him greatly. But he was tired of putting up with other people's shit and he wasn't going to do it anymore. In his eyes, he still challenged the white wolf, though he knew the male would decline, and this made him laugh. Lecter was a coward, but probably smart. Majesty knew he could defeat the male, so Lecter probably had the best idea - not to fight.
