Northstar Vale Nothing as black as my heart

Noctaryn was out of line, Chaudry had every right to correct him should he wish.

But, he would not.

Fine. I will go look for her then. He returned to his usual cool, calm demeanour. If maman intended for her dog to bully him into a family reunion, he would oblige her this once. While I am gone you will take over border patrol.

Turning back towards where dens had been dug out, he left without another word. He would grab Julienne and leave her with maman while he was gone.

He planned for this trip to be short. When he returned it would be with Pala and their sons in tow, he would make it so. She would not say a word, and then Chaudry would chase her away once more when the time was right.
