Shit. The word was instant when he felt the shift in the wind and knew they were no longer alone. But more than that, Grayson had heard the question he had asked her. Luc's eyes shifted to the female wolf just as he saw her blanch and he felt his hopes dim. It no longer mattered is she answered the question, he had learned enough.<br/><br/>He wanted to defend her, to let Grayson know she hadn't technically ignored the command he had given her. But ignoring it by an inch or a mile didn't matter...her disobedience did. He watched as Grayson tugged at her ear and the moment she was gone, Luc stood, unashamed of his nakedness.<br/><br/>"She didn't disobey you, Grayson. She stayed away. I was just asking her questions. She didn't answer anything," Luc didn't know why it was important that Grayson punish him and not the female wolf...but it was.<br/><br/>He cocked his head towards the door, "You want to do this inside?"<br/><br/>Luc wondered if Grayson was going to kill him or banish him from his territory. Regardless of having been given food and shelter, Luc wasn't naïve to think Grayson would willingly help him out. He just hoped the other Alpha would give him a chance to get his story out before he made a decision.
