So, it was a who after all.
Fin's eyes narrowed sharply as Colt uttered the name of his attacker. Instantly, her memory confirmed the truth of it. She had never known what had happened to Kiwi. The girl had just up and disappeared one day, which was unfortunately not so uncommon that it had caused her too much alarm. It seemed to happen all the time to young wolves. Clover had done much the same, as had a few of Fin's other children.
But Kiwi had been a concern for Fin from time to time. She didn't like that the girl was out in the world somewhere, not knowing that Wildfire had passed. She didn't really like any of her goddaughter's children not knowing, but she had never really known any of the others except for the few Wildfire had brought with her to the Redhawks, or that had been at the Redhawks when she'd arrived.
Kiwi had stood out from even those, though. She had been Wildfire's regent--a role that had morphed her into a protege in Fin's mind. It had never been right with her that Kiwi didn't know, in spite of not at all well she had gotten along with the girl. Her thoughts raced as she considered what had happened between her and Colt that might've lead to this. Really there was only one explanation, and Finley's heart and mind did not at all know how to process it.
Fortunately, she was distracted quickly with the matter at hand. She turned to Eljay as he arrived on the scene and gave some instruction. Her eyes shifted to Wraen, who made some excuses or something (Fin didn't pay attention), but offered to get Raven. Fin straightened slightly, her voice taking an air of command by some will of its own as she said, "Find her." She didn't know if she meant Raven, or if she meant Kiwi. But in any case, Wraen was dismissed.
Finley went to work then on her brother's wounds. The pair of them had had to tend to each other's injuries so often in their lives, it was nothing to her. It was the same quiet anxiety, tempered by necessity and a general feeling of you fucking idiot which got her through doing what she needed to do. "Stay alive, asshole," Fin murmured, giving Colt a sharp glare, "Or I'll piss on your corpse and fuck your girlfriend."
It was the usual threat. It had worked many times in the past. Fin could only pray it would work again.
