As he had options, so did she. It would be a quick call to announce his intrusion to the rest of her pack, and that he had hunted on their lands. It was a certainly not something that any pack wolf would allow, prey being a main reason for a pack’s formation. The female had been made to think heavily on all those reasons wolves came together, pups, territory, prey.
Her second was to let him explain, as his posture did immediately. There was a small bit of submission, enough that Anu could hold onto it and hold back her territorial rage. Things hadn’t been perfect, as they once had, for the past month or so. It made her jumpy, agitated and worried. All those things could bring another side out of the peaceful fey.
His words saved him, and Anu suddenly forgot that she was strung so very tight. “Seems that you’ve crossed right over it.” Anu spoke with a light tone. What was a hare to them? It could be so much worse. I hope its not to hunt.” Again her tone was friendly though her words were one of warning. Perhaps the hare resided beyond Crimson Dreams, and she was sure he could talk himself out of this trouble.
