Stone Circle Jaws 4: The Revenge

There’s opposition in the rise of her tail and the way her lip curls to reveal jaws ground against one another and the paws that tense as she splays her defensive stance.

She’s drained, exhausted from the week and the journey South, yet her body fills with new adrenaline, tempting her to rush him. To rid him of that brash tongue with her own teeth.

It is only in memory of Gunnar’s disappointment that she refrains.

“Look,” slide the words amid a warning bay, “You’ve been nothing but vile and thankless. And frankly I can’t stand looking at you. But I’m gonna apologize. Because I respect my alpha, and he’s asked me to do so.”

“Sorry.”

There.

She flounces her tail. Now she intends to go on with her life like he doesn’t exist. She hikes up a holier-than-thou muzzle and proceeds to step forward along the path.
