She turned her head and laid her cheek against her knees when she heard the door open, his scent hitting her hard, though she was too exhausted to show any signs of it.  She watched him, a tired smile quirking the corner of her mouth before it disappeared.  "I'm used to being in trouble with my Alpha.  He'll forgive me more quickly than you'd think," she said with a half shrug as she watched him sit down next to her.<br/><br/>He looked more rested, less run down by physical exhaustion, though the emotional scars still remained.  "You're welcome."<br/><br/>"Sleep... it's overrated right?" her attempt at humor fell a bit flat.  "I can't sleep, not yet.  I need to eat something or I'll be weak as a kitten when I wake up, and cooked foot just won't cut it I'm afraid.  Everyone is on alert, guarding the pups and on patrol... I could have asked Grayson to hunt with me, but I'd be taking him away from the others... and he's acting a little off this morning," she didn't mention the scent of a female wolf on him, that was none of Luc's business.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry.  I'll just go... I just thought you might want to hunt too..." she muttered, suddenly sure she shouldn't have come as she struggled to stand.<br/><br/><div align="center">~~*~~*~~*~~</div><br/>Cam settled across from her with a hard look, though it softened quickly.   He didn't say a word as the waitress came by and he ordered coffee, but the moment she stepped away again he leaned forward, searching her gaze.<br/><br/>"Are you alright, Sonora?  I've been trying to contact you all morning.  You were due to report in this morning," he said just loud enough for her to hear, though is voice didn't travel any farther.<br/><br/>"Look.  You wanted this assignment, but I can't have you there if you're not going to follow regulations.  I'll pull you out if you can't follow orders.  I don't want to be a hard ass with you, I really don't, but this is too important to risk any misunderstandings.  Do you understand what kind of ramifications this will have once it's common knowledge?  How these people will react with fear of the creatures out there?" he asked, his eyes widening as he noticed the mark on her neck.<br/><br/>"Fuck, Sonora.  What the hell happened?"<br/>
