Liri could see that her offer was met with some disbelief - which she could understand. Her past experience with other packs was often that of a subordinate under the absolute control of an Alpha she had only met at the borders. She'd found that brand of leadership distasteful and it had only taken her two years to find a place where she could rule her own life, offering a place of respect for those in search of a family - the very kind of pack she had searched for.

"Of course. I don't see why my mate would mind. You're a good hunter and I'm sure you'd make a valuable member," she smiled, her tail flicking gently where it was curled around her legs. "But the choice is yours. Not everyone wishes to belong to a pack," she added, thinking of the male, Slavik, who had turned down her offer in place of roaming Teekon and seeing what it had to offer.
