Swiftcurrent Creek And the record won't stop skipping

The sound pulled him from his thoughts as the beta appeared at his side. He was content to let the silence linger between them for as long as the other man wanted, unsure what had brought him here today. Kavik was uncertain how Soltero felt about his coming in and taking an alpha position, but he imagined he and most of the creek wolves were probably not very happy about it. Kavik didn't blame them nor was he offended; he felt they had every right to their feelings and only hoped for the opportunity to earn their respect, even if he didn't feel he particularly deserved it right now. He turned when he heard his name, pulled from his inner thoughts once more. At the smokey man's request, Kavik dipped his head and answered, Of course. He was just glad to not see anger in the other man's eyes or hear it in his tone; it would be deserved, but nonetheless, he was glad for its absence.
