Horizon Ridge checking in

She looked into his face, clearly he was not in a chatty mood tonight which worried her, when he wasn't chatty he was brooding and when he was broody she believed not much good came of it, as far she she was concerned.

She frowned briefly and moved closer to him, drawing up along side him preferring to be beside him rather then under his piercing ocean blue stare. Not unless that stare had a more soft nature to it. Is that not enough? It means I plan on staying as long as you ... want me ... too She faltered on those words and winced inwardly.

Nerian pressed her lips closed Ragnar... she started to say something else but quickly changed her heart hurt to much to go down that road again, she changed topic How is the Alpha? What is your take on her leadership skills? Truthfully she wanted to know if Ragnar would fight the alpha and take what he desired or would he spilt off? but if he did that in the next two years he'd be leaving his children behind so she doubted a splinter pack was in his end-game plan.

But maybe this change in topic would change the look in his eyes, the look she couldn't bare to see in his face, the reason she had taken a more friendly position beside him in hopes of not seeing what she wanted to see. He wouldn't have those feeling for her he made that clear. Though the kiss he had placed on her brow made it hard for her to believe that.

She still keep her expression neutral though her ear tipped toward him showing the piqued interest in her new topic. Pump was a curious leader to her, she seemed untested, young or naive maybe all three. She didn't make sure her followers knew whom they were following; that was glaring fault to her and made her uncomfortable.
