Morningside Cuesta Romeo & Juliet

Though the male reacted appropriately, Day still felt the shimmer of agitation over his mind. It took him a moment to pinpoint the source of his anxiety, and when he did, he gave an irritable snort and swung his head toward Heartha, releasing the male's muzzle as he did.

"Go home. Find Spot. Keep out of Khoe's way," he snapped, turning his back on the woman as soon as the words were out of his mouth. He gestured for the male to come with him and began walking quickly away from the scene. "And don't leave her side until I find you again," he called over his shoulder, not pausing in his retreat. When he was away from the scent of her heat, he'd be able to think more clearly on what he needed to say to her. She was a part of his family, and that called for more patience and delicacy than Grayday currently possessed. Dealing with the rover, however, would be a simpler matter.
