Redtail Rise Needlework the way, never you betray

Until the moment his brother said the words, Atreus had never once entertained the thought of leaving the rise. He momentarily forgot why Ancelin had suggested such a thing, his mind blowing wide open as he considered what sorts of adventures might be at stake outside of the pack’s territory.

But he quickly realized Aventus surely wouldn’t stand for that and whined, But dad’ll kick our butts if we try to leave, won’t he, especially now. Maybe if we wait a while and behave ourselves, we can go, he thought aloud, the emphasis heavily sarcastic.

If staying in line would get them on their father’s good side though, maybe he would loosen the leash a bit. And if they bided their time, they would get older anyway, which meant more freedom, whether or not the Bitan liked it. A bit of a Cheshire smile began creeping along Atreus’s face.
