---- 295. BAD DECISIONS NARRATOR "I told you I wasn''t sure..." Fenrir replied with annoyance. "You don''t want to be, either." Magnus yanked him around, eyes full of usation. "Do you know how many wolves are dying to find their mates, and you''re about to pull one of your stupid stunts?" "If you want her so much, keep her! I''m gifting her to you, now let me go, fuck!" Fenrir shoved his brother''s heavy paw away in anger. Their blue eyes locked; their dark reddish hair glinted in the shafts of light filtering through the tall trees. "You''re going to regret this...
if she finds out, and she really is your mate..." Magnus trailed off, but his point was crystal clear. "She won''t find out if you don''t run your mouth, and I''m not nning on finding her anyway, so let''s do what we came for," Fenrir stayed stubborn. His demeanor could seemid-back, almostedic, but beneath thatyer of humor there was still a lycan with a fierce temper. ---- Magnus snorted, itching to crack his twin''s skull open one more time.
As always, he warned him about the disastering, and the other redhead ran that advice straight through those balls he''d inherited from their father. "Where are you going now?" Magnus followed him into the brush, watching their footing because the ground here was treacherous. "I''m taking my side. It''s better to split up to track more territory." Fenrir didn''t even turn to look at him as he strode off. "Just say you can''t stand criticism," Magnus huffed, thinking how bad an idea it was to split up in a swamp they didn''t know.
His brother''s answer was to raise a hand and flip him the middle finger before disappearing from sight. "Very mature, as always." Magnus''s eyes shed with resignation, and he headed off in another direction. Their mother had sent them to hunt down a group of rebels, mixes of warlocks and beast-men, who''d slipped through the. Magnus knew their father sent them here just to keep them away from the real war. ---- And their mother had asked Queen Raven for anything to do, whatever, since Fenrir had been bitching all day about being bored.
"He''s a brat in front of Mom," the huge lycan snorted as he crouched to check some tracks that looked pretty fresh. People hade through here recently. They could be the rebels or hunters from the swamp pack. His fingers traced the edges of one particrly confusing print. From the depth of the mark, it didn''t seem like a man''s; however, the feet were a bit big for a woman. Or they could belong to a small man, because the shape was of boots... Magnus''s eyes narrowed with curiosity. Looks like there would be some fun after all.
He stood and began to follow the tracks that would lead him to an unexpected and far-too-tempting prey. soba Meanwhile, in the Wolf Lord''s provisional camp... ---- "If anything happened to my granddaughter because you left her alone..." Aldric paused for a second to consider the gruesome torture he''d inflict on that cocky white-haired guy. Inside the huge meeting tent, he pointed at him while standing, usatory, as Ss waited seated. "She''s my daughter, and she knows how to defend herself very well." The golden eyes looked at him coldly.
"Besides, she wasn''t alone, she was with her mate, something I need to learn to respect." Right in the chest, with a tant jab included. The other males took the hint.<style>
