“Me and Sieger used to be friends, you know. Alright with one another. Now he thinks he can come in here and tell me what to do with my pack? Because what, we’re down a few wolves?” Lofgren shook his head. “Yeah, I’ve been thinking about it.” Stellan agreed with him, as he expected oh him. He’d never been one for resistance and disagreement. Sure, he could hold his own and Lofgren could see it in his eye now that if he pushed with his mate he would snap, but that was natural, expected. Something Lofgren could predict. As always, Stellan remained predictable. Reliable. Once things smoothed over he’d go back to his part living in the city, part living out with the pack and no one would care. If he needed to prove a point with him he had no trouble using the little wolf, trying a different tactic if Stellan got out of line again.<br/><br/>Sig was sitting off to the side, listening. Stellan looked to him and he could see how much he didn’t want to do it in his eyes. Knew the consequences if he didn’t. There weren’t many good options. Blue would do it on his own, with no plan and no backup. Or Eivind would get wind of the plan and it would be an all out war. He held his gaze, understanding, trying to make him understand that he was here, going forward with him so that it alone wasn’t weighed on him. Sig was sorry he’d had to ask, but they were something more now. The four of them.<br/><br/>Lofgren cocked his head at Stellan.<br/><br/>“Excuse me?” he started, initially irritated that he would question his timing in the matter. Stellan wasn’t finished though and Lofgren listened, letting his words really sink in. Fury pulsed through him because that meant Sieger had lied to him. Had taken his toy, and for what? Not to dispose of him apparently.<br/><br/>“How did you come about this knowledge? Is it actually true?”<br/><br/>Sig had shifted and was walking closer, touching Stellan but directing his attention to the alpha wolf.<br/><br/>“I’ve passed through Sieger’s pack a few times. They were talking about a boy they’d taken from a nearby pack, one they’d been meant to kill, yet hadn’t. Just turned him back out and that he was in the city now. Then Stellan and I got to talking and I put some things together. Now, I know that I’m new to this, but I see it as a loose end that was never tied up and threatens what we are. No human has any business knowing ours. I would have been long gone had circumstances not<i>changed</i>for me.” He glanced over at Stellan, feeling the rage rolling off the larger male.<br/><br/>“Has anyone confirmed this? How long have you known?” Lofgren growled, angry that this hadn’t been brought up sooner. “Fuck.. that was.. how long ago? Boy’s just been left to run his god-damned mouth. Fucking Sieger. This is what I’m telling you. Not an alpha that is able to do what needs to be done. Came in here bitching and moaning about a mess that needing cleaning up. Now look at whose having to deal with a situation left to fester.”
