She didn't make him wait for too long before filling him in on what had happened. His eyes widened at the first piece of news -- that Towhee had relinquished her Alpha rank -- and then they got even bigger, if that was possible, when it was revealed that Raven and Quixote were the new leaders. It seemed completely random, and unwarranted, especially considering the shit-talking Quixote had been doing with Colt in regards to Towhee. "What the--" he started to say, only to bite his tongue when the icing on the cake was revealed: Raven was pregnant.

He could only blink at Finley as he gathered his thoughts. Confusion was the first emotion that he felt, followed swiftly by disappointment and, yes, even a touch of frustration. He wasn't sure why Towhee had given up her rank after only recently being convinced of her abilities -- and why had she chosen Raven and Quixote to take her place? And, even more bewildering, how had Raven been so irresponsible as to get pregnant? (Coming from someone who wasn't a stranger to accidental pregnancies, ha.)

"Quixote got her pregnant?" he guessed, shaking his head. "Start at the beginning," he then added. "Why did Towhee step down? Why is she giving the pack to Raven and Quixote?" And what does that mean for us? he wondered inwardly. Surely that question would be answered sooner or later.
