Stone Circle Is it really that much of a surprise?

Valette swallowed thickly at the reactions of Ira and Merrit, the ones she had been worried about. She was not sure what was worse, Merrit who didn't approve or Ira who instantly faded behind a mask not saying what she really felt about it. At least Steph approved, her trusted Beta. Her younger children were more skeptical. She wished they could see how she was seeing Greyback.

Ira and Merrit both left and Valette felt a lump in her throat. At least they knew before the rest of the pack knew. They heard it from them and not from others. Valette glanced with worried eyes at Greyback. "I should talk to Merrit maybe you ought to do the same with Ira," Valette spoke. Valette noticed Arlette still being there. "I am going to talk to your brother, but please talk to me if you don't like something alright?"
