The youth offered nothing but a long blink in response to the stranger's explanation. It takes the pain away? she mouthed to herself, though she didn't have long to speculate over this peculiar declaration before the wolf practically prostrated herself at Junior's feet, begging to be spared. Junior flinched away from her, momentarily distracted from her con and nonplussed by the stranger's exaggerated behavior.

She switched her tail as she eased into this false identity. "I'm the Alphas' daughter," she added with a pointed look. "If my parents caught you here, they'd make you eat dirt. What are you doing so close to claimed lands, anyway?" This question, at least, was genuine.
