Firefly Glen We'll be alright if you don't ask me to stay

She could see the logic behind Hydra's words. Being out here unprotected put her at as much of a risk, if not more, than if she had stayed inside the borders, but all she had been thinking about was preventing any tension between her packmates. This was all very confusing no matter how much she knew about the way things worked, and she was very quickly realizing that it was vastly different when you were experiencing it for yourself. All she knew was that she was getting overwhelmed with the amount bodies surrounding her, and the thought of being escorted back to the mountain by the beta didn't make her feel any better about things.

Any other time, she would be fine with the closeness of her packmates, especially ones she considered to be friends, but when Revui came up beside her, his warmth against her skin made her stomach tighten, and she gave a hard swallow in response to the intensity of the feeling. She felt guilty for feeling that way, and it made the whole thing even more confusing. She didn't like not being in control of her reactions. She didn't blame her friend for behaving the way he did, either; she knew he was in no better control of his own reactions right now. And she really did appreciate his vow to protect her, but she didn't think it was such a good idea to go with him, not with the way he was reacting to her scent. 

She barely had time to register the arrival of Arcturus before Charon's angry words demanded her attention. She winced a little at his harsh dismissal of Hydra's new mate. And as relieved as she was to hear him order the group away, she couldn't help but feel guilt just as strongly; she had caused tension between the alpha and his daughter, and she hated it. She hated that this whole mess was her fault, and that she never even had any choice in the matter. Speedy shifted away from Revui to stand closer to Charon, giving her friend an apologetic look as she moved. This seemed like the right decision, though; she had complete faith in the alpha's ability to keep her safe from any more curious noses.
