It felt that this had been a hard decision for him to make. She sensed a small pang of regret, and she wondered if perhaps there was some way to ease that. He seemed to feel it was best that he didn’t even see them…And if he wasn’t introduced, they wouldn’t have questions as to where he was, or who he was to them.

But there was a bond there, that she felt she ought try and maintain. The two packs were close- peace was important.
