Lone Star Mountain When choices end, you must defend

The offer was kind, and Kavik already felt indebted to the other man for just the prospect of a safe place to collect themselves and heal their injuries. That is very kind of you, he replied first. The gamma introduced herself next, and he gave dip of his head in response before shifting his focus back on the creek leader. I think we'll all graciously accept your offer, but I need to check with my wolves first, he added after a second, still unable to stop thinking of them as his. Even when he was alpha, he wasn't one to make decisions for others unless absolutely necessary, so he wouldn't do so now. He turned his inky head back to his group, assuming they heard the exchange, and waited for their acceptance or denial of the offer. It was definitely a preferable alternative to roaming the mountains in the middle of winter, but he wouldn't go unless they went with him. His emerald gaze searched for Siqsa but didn't find him anywhere. It worried him, but he only had the capacity to deal with one problem at a time right now. Once this was settled, he would make sure the man was okay.
