Greatwater Lake Fledgling with a Broken Wing

Sunspots felt guilty seeing the stranger forced into submission. She seemed nice, and he liked her. He would have loved to come close to her and lick her fur, enjoy her company, but not in front of Khaba.

When Khaba gave him a warning look, Sunspots relaxed a little and stepped back a few meters. As much as he wanted to, he would not go near the stranger, he had learned that with Aliki. It was a show of respect for Alpha, but he stressed him out. Every step away from her stressed him out. Would he be able to attack her if Alpha asked him to?

However, Khaba loved females. He showed them affection and let them enter the herd without doing any kind of test. That made him wag his tail in annoyance, but she covered it by snarling at the stranger again. He circled them several times, until he was behind Khaba. Then, hoping he wouldn't notice, he lowered his head and wagged his tail, looking at the intruder in a friendly way. He wanted to apologize to her for her sudden change in behavior, he wanted her to forgive him.

Though he felt guilty, he wanted with all her might to have her close to him. alone. Powerless, he just stared at Khaba.
