Horizon Ridge there's something here that's broken

Declan ignores Conan’s scowl with a lift of his chin, showing his brother that his burning gaze and scowl do not faze him. The feral Commander has spent his entire life memorizing Conan’s body language and knows which he should take seriously and which he should not. Declan does not doubt that Conan is truly annoyed with him but that will not cause the feral Commander to take back his words though he sees little purpose in taking anything back. He says what he means and means what he says — just as he believed everyone else should. Declan’s low grunt is accompanied by a gesture of his muzzle in the corpse’s direction as his brother declares he is hungry. The fawn was for Conan anyway and he is not sure why his brother does not already know that. It wasn’t as if Declan had killed and brought it to this place just to look at it.

There is a curl of Declan’s upper lip when Conan invites August to help herself. No, the curl of his lip and lash of his tail speak. Conan would eat first and when his belly is sated then he would take his share and she could have what is left. He has already been generous to her (or so he thinks). He did not account for a third to their party of two. He did not plan to keep August around, either, and tells himself that is only because he thinks she will make a good gift for Ceannasach. Declan watches as Conan tears a leg from the corpse before he pads towards it and tears into the flesh of it’s flank and belly and eats until his belly is full.

When his hunger is sated he nudges what is left towards August with a bloodied muzzle. Now, you can eat, he invites her to the corpse with his eyes before he backs up a few steps and raises his head. His salmon pink tongue draws across his jowls in an attempt to clean himself up a bit. The hierarchical order of their small group has been decided and the Commander will enforce it at any turn he gets. If she wanted to be anything more than omega then perhaps she should have shown him some backbone; but she did not and so omega she stayed to him.
