Horizon Ridge Calmness is the cradle of power.

Thistle hadn't delved into the story of her and Ragnar, so Julooke listened with ears perked. It hadn't been what Julooke was expecting. She frowned when he mentioned she had been taken advantage of. She couldn't fathom that... Her innocence just could not understand that those kind of things happened in this world. Instead of focusing on the bad, she focused on the good. Smiling to him, she said, You're going to be a really good Dad. She didn't think any wolf could claim children that had the chance of not being theirs and not be a good Dad to them.

Her brows shot up and she smiled, You really thought we were mates? she asked, wanting it confirmed even though he had already said it. She hadn't really realized Verrine and she acted like that, though they were very comfortable with each other. Ragnar went on say that someone needed to make the first move, or else it would never be mad. Her brows furrowed. She stood up and went to the deer that was between them, to get a better look at him. You're right! she said with conviction. If I can... She paused, looking at the carcass. Then, her two front legs hopped up on the partially eaten deer. If I can take on this deer, I can take on love! No big thing! Screw sitting around, being scared! I'm gonna go! I'm gonna go do it! she almost yelled. I'm going to tell Verrine I love him! With that, she turned, almost stomping off in the direction of their den. Then, she stopped, paused, turned around and stomped back to the carcass. After we've dealt with the meat.
