Blacktail Deer Plateau I search for someone who hides

"He abandoned us for his new woman," she said sourly, "but that's okay. We don't need the likes of him." It was a harsh reality, but Peregrine's children were growing up without him. In fact, they were in a more stable environment than they'd ever been in before. Pura didn't feel it was stable, but Saena certainly did, and she was settling well for the first time. Peregrine had brought a host of unneeded drama into their midst what with his split up, his brand new wife mere weeks after the fact, his homosexual fling (which Saena now understood was unnatural), and his sudden departure despite his mate being completely fine. It was best for his children that he was gone.

That wasn't to be confused with forgiveness, however. He would never deserve that in Saena's mind.

"You should get back to them," suggested Saena, in no way wanting to be rid of Gunnar, but feeling she understood the position he was in. "You're their stable kid. They're probably dealing with all sorts of feelings over your sister... you should be with them. They can rely on you, at least. It will make them feel better." She didn't have kids of her own and couldn't begin to understand the feelings of parents, but she knew if she had one reliable wolf in her life, she would lean on them in trying times. Gunnar seemed like the sensible one in his family. Junior had got along with Mercury most, but Saena could see herself in Gunnar. Perhaps they, too, would be friends long after this moment. "Sorry bout Junior. If she ever comes back, I'll let her know you wanted to see her."
