Great Bear Wilderness a surprise

It was at that moment I realized Runt was really crushing.

Gaiban felt sad as well. He was being a real jerk. But the pack came first, before his own subconscious fantasies.
"I might get in trouble. I'm not mad at you, I just don't want to lose my place in the pack." Gaiban said, with rising urgency. He wasn't going down that road again. Sometimes the white-furred Iota felt like just running away, but he didn't want to get kicked. But he could start something new with this wolf. He doubted the other wolf was thinking the same thing.

"Alright, but you don't cross the borders." He needed to know the she-wolf's intentions.
