Swiftcurrent Creek cancel out the darkness

Arlette could only nod gravely. Though, she did feel that times had been quieter lately. It had been welcomed by her. She remembered a time at the Saints that there was always a war or always packs out to kill them. It was actually nice to just experience normalcy for once. But there seemed to be something afoot and they should respond. Arlette glanced at Akavir. It sounded like he had a lot on his place. The desert, moon wolves, the coast. You might be away a long time, she realized. But at least he was not going at this alone. She wouldn't mind to hold down the fort. She glanced at Arric. Was he needed in all this?

Though, she couldn't think long about that because she was absolutely baffled by her mate's response about Morwenna. You don't like her? Why?, Arlette asked with surprise and slight disbelieve on her face. She knew she just asked him why, while he said he didn't know. But she couldn't help her. She had bonded a little with the female and was now doubting herself instantly. Had she been played by Morwenna? Or was Arric just ... Arric? He did seem to dislike most females that spend some time with Akavir. He was protective of his friends.

She was still coming to terms with that when another bomb dropped. You WHAT?!, she snapped. Her red eyes instantly firing at the alpha. She scowled. This (excuse the pun) FUCKING male was infuriating sometimes. Her head whirled when she heard the wheezing of her mate trying to hold his laughter. Her teeth snapped closed in the air next to Arric's face. It was not a laughing matter. All this drama with Eshe because this man didn't want children, to then fuck a random girl in heat and not expect consequences?! AND NOT TO MENTION, Vinn in all this too. Her head turned to Akavir in warning if he so much as tried to laugh about her snapping at Arric when she would snap her teeth at him too.

She gathered herself and inhaled. I can't say I approve, she spoke a little coolly, also mindful that the children were somewhat close. And what is your plan with them exactly?, she asked. Because this also gives consequences to the pups we already have, she pointed out. Primarily their own pups she was worried about. They were soon to be adolescents so you could say they were becoming more self sufficient, but they were also more demanding in meat. Arlette wanted to rub her face. Why couldn't he keep it in his pants?!
