Blacktail Deer Plateau Discretion of the Mind · PACK MEET

Hawkeye was hurt by Peregrine's movement away from her, and slightly backed away once he apologized and tried to nuzzle her. What the hell was he doing, reciprocating the emotions she just had?

She backed away, giving them space. "I do not like the way you question me, Peregrine. There is a point where possessiveness becomes too much. I was wandering the lands, and the shaman from my old pack came. I let him into the lands to help with my altar, and then I walked the lands for a few days. I avoided everyone, not just you. Sometimes I need to be alone." She felt irritated at the fact that he was asking her to explain, and also that she was answering him. It was not his place to be questioning his Alpha, courting or not.
