Stavanger Bay The starting point of achievement is desire

I am so sorry for delaying this. I'll write Junior out of the thread. :)

The pup basked in Thistle's praise for a moment before curiously observing the exchange between the Alpha's mate and her new prisoner. The latter slunk toward them, her demeanor entirely submissive, instinctively prompting the youngster to take on a dominant pose. She glanced sideways at her guardian, wondering at the distress she sensed in Thistle's face and voice.

Thistle stepped away then, evidently leaving the male to take charge of the captive. Junior lingered, wishing to follow him and see what became of the she-wolf, then reluctantly chased after her foster mother. The woman's mood troubled her and the young Shield Maiden decided she must find out what was wrong. Thistle had looked out for her, now it was Junior's turn to return the favor.
