Dekoth’s hand slowly flitted away from Morrigan’s neck, his body turning until his eyes fell on his mate Soleil. Moving slowly across the room, a smile came to his face and he tilted his head. It was odd that she would ruin his fun. Granted, he rarely spoke against the Alpha’s as harshly as this, but this time he felt they lost a golden opportunity to remove the other pack. They had ruined a chance to eliminate the leadership, something that could  have allowed them to fill the void that would have been left behind.  He knew she was right. If Calvin heard, it would mean a fight, and in his  wildest dreams Dekoth couldn’t be sure his strength would equal the top male’s. He shouldn’t have been so foolish to speak so openly, he could have waited to talk to Soleil in the privacy of their own area.<br/><br/>Once he got in front of Soleil, he leaned in, nuzzling her neck for a moment. Pulling away, he bared his elongated canines. Nodding slowly, his eyes ran over the form of his mate. She really was beautiful, and he never regretted taking her as his partner. Looking into her eyes, he grinned.<br/><br/>“Did our talking keep you awake, my dear? I felt we were talking about important things. The future of our pack is at stake, our place in this territory. That is my only concern. I will be quiet now. What did you feel like hunting today? Human or animal? Or did you want something quicker?”
