Redhawk Caldera If you love something, set it free

I dropped the ball on this one. Sorry! I'm going to wrap it up and put it beneath the Christmas tree. Let's have another soon, oui? :D

Although the idea of Ashton collaborating with Blue Willow brought a small smile to his lips, it did not reach his eyes. He said nothing in response. Everything was still too fresh, too raw, for him. The mention of his friend's name just reminded him of the fact that he wouldn't get to welcome her pups to the world. The realization stung like a bitch the first time and the fiftieth time it came to him.

He managed another smile at Ashton's offer to "help" by drugging Dante. The word war made Peregrine's blood run cold. In time, he would learn the truth, the real reason for the other Alpha's actions, and Peregrine's entire mindset would undergo a drastic shift. For the time-being, however, he resented Dante greatly and the idea of fucking with him was fun, even if it was nothing he would ever do in reality. And, of course, the idea of warring with the plateau made him sick to his damn stomach.

"Hey, do you have something for a queasy stomach?" the Alpha asked half-seriously. "Let's hit up your medicine cabinet, if you don't mind," he added, motioning for Ashton to lead the way to his stash. He did not forget to stop and pick up the flowers, which made him wonder what the dude thought of his revelation about Lasher, especially following his earlier gay joke.

Ah, well, there was still plenty of time to talk about it later and further get to know one another.
