Poppa smiled sadly.<br/><br/>“I knew you wouldn’t stay long but I’m glad you came by. It did this old man a world of good to see you finally find a mate. Too bad you can’t stay longer. Even though you might not believe this, I love you like my own son. Our door is always open to you.”<br/><br/>Tinker spat out in pack speak,<br/><br/>“My father was a good wolf. There is something really wrong here, like a thorn in the paw that has festered. I don’t care what you say, what ever he was accused of, he is innocent of. I will see that my father’s name is cleared and who ever was responsible owns up to the deed.”<br/><br/>Warren had knelt beside her, with his arms around her neck, trying to get her to calm down and leave. She allowed him to move her toward the door and when he kicked the screen door open, she followed him out.<br/><br/>“Warren, did you get my human fur?” she asked using pack speak. “ I don’t want to get cold if I suddenly shift again.”
