The longer the fight ensued, the tenser Peregrine became. His muscles twitched pensively beneath his black coat. At least it didn't seem like the she-wolves were really attempting to hurt one another. It was more or less a cat fight in that sense. Still, it made him uncomfortable as they went at one another relentlessly. It didn't help that he couldn't decide whether he hoped Fox won or lost.

Finally, Fox relented. She spat some choice words at Bazi, effectively relinquishing her leadership to the victor. She then turned toward Peregrine. He let her come to him, then reached out and nudged a splotch of dust off her forehead. If it hadn't been wildly inappropriate, he would've said something totally crass right then, such as, "Don't worry, baby, I'll fuck the pain away." The Alpha male held his peace.

He glanced at Bazi, wondering if she would let them go just like that or if she had anything left to say. He hoped she wouldn't say another word. He could take Fox back to the plateau and give his friend a good life there. And he would have her all to himself, which was the first thought that gave Peregrine a true sense of joy since his daughter's death.
