Stone Circle Testing The Waters

She had been settling in well with the pack. He heard of the frequent patrols and hunting she did for the pack and could see how her influence within the pack had been growing. Keeping her busy and distracted from possibly finding out about Howl's dealing. He assumed Cebra hasn't said anything about it, except maybe to Mawk, and Cin wasn't a member of their pack so she wouldn't have an easy spreading the word.

As though she could read his mind she asked him if there was anything wrong. He should have to know that being so close to her now, she would be able to sense his worry. He let out a sigh, "I hope so." he said.

"Listen Brynn... There's something I need to tell you, but before I do I need to know that you know how much I care about you. How much I love you and want to be with you." he said. He knew that if she didn't know his feeling for her that this wouldn't work. That the news could crush her and their relationship. He didn't want his stupid mistakes to mess up something so great.
