Dante's irritating when it comes to stuff like this so I don't blame him one bit XDD

No matter Peregrine's feelings, Dante couldn't change who he was, and the offer had floored him. He wasn't used to being chosen for opportunities like this... hell, he wasn't used to being noticed at all. He was normally one of those guys who blended into the background, silently doing what he could but not really getting recognition for it. After all, he didn't feel he did anything particularly outstanding, and normally others agreed.

Not that he'd had much pack experience.

He could tell that Peregrine was iffy on his response, and he felt badly, but it just didn't seem that he could say the right thing currently. He still didn't understand Peregrine's reasoning. Atticus had been chosen over him before, so the fact that he would be considered more eligible than Peregrine's own brother should he recover actually put Dante off a bit. Lasher he knew well enough to know that he probably would not mind being out the position. Atticus, however, he did not. Should that day come, he would need to have a talk with the former Beta himself. He wasn't about to come between the two brothers... he had seen how close they were.

He said nothing of this to Peregrine, knowing that the words might not be well received. Besides, at the current moment it hardly mattered. He'd cross that bridge when he got there.

"Then I'll have to try not to suck ass, won't I?" He responded, flashing the male a more genuine smile as his shoulder was embraced. "Sorry, I truly appreciate it. I won't let you down, your highness." He gave a playful bow, lifting a leg and gesturing exaggeratedly.
