Stone Circle Homebound (returning)

Steph could tell he was taken aback, and as he stared at her, she growled again in warning. She would most certainly lose a fight with this big fella, but it didn't mean she wouldn't give it her all. His lack of submission did nothing to quell the fight in her, but she was relieved when he turned and headed back to the borders. She disregarded mostly of what he said, as her only mission was to get him out of here.

She followed, hot on his trails, and stopped at the border. She was about to open her mouth when Valette showed up. The daughter of the Alpha smoothed her hackles, but her body remained rigid as she listened to Valette. He was back? Crap. It seemed Steph had been wrong in her defensive reaction. The humble sort, she was ready to apologize, but then Valette backed her up by saying he should have waited at the borders. Inwardly, Steph was a little relieved she had done the right thing. But, she wasn't about to gloat to the male. 

Keeping her expression neutral, she sat back on her haunches, knowing the situation no longer needed any hostility from her. She looked from Valette to Greyback as she introduced them. Nice to meet you, she said, her voice much softer than it had been a few moments ago. She hadn't heard of any wolves having to do assignments to join, but maybe it was a new thing her mother had implemented.
