Dark ears had pressed tight against his skull long ago and with every dominating jester of the auburn female Cypress' own form shrank before her. His tail was held tight and close behind, thought the dark tip did not yet curl between his legs to tuck against his belly. Even as her words continued to attack his pride. What little he had. Was that all he was, a dirty secret? Something to hidden away from the light, was that the true reason he father stayed away and his mother was to keep them from his borders? He hadn't given Talitha's scathing words any merit, but followed by further insults from another blood eyed she-devil he thought them worth more considerate. His anger showed clearly in his eyes at the hurtful words, yet hurt and doubt mingled with the emotion and left him speechless against her claim. He did not know what he was to his father any longer. In all reality he never really had.
She could come up with a million reasons why a wolf might lie to her, but that did not change the fact that Cypress had no reason to lie. Her preconceptions of his breed blinded her to the truth of the matter, but again he did not raise his voice to speak against her. Afraid that no matter what he said it would only fuel the flames of her anger, if for no other reason than they came from the mouth of a wolf.
Her hand reached out, followed by a demand. The action alone was enough to the youth back away from his. Leery of the smaller, yet savage woman. He stared at her, almost dumb struck as she demanded he hand over his kill. Contempt flooded the features of his face but he was not so stupid as to disobey. Even if it was his kill. She was probably just looking for a reason to justify assaulting him further. Reluctantly the boy picked up the mostly intact remains of the rabbit gingerly between his jaws. With slow and cautious steps he placed it in her outstretched hand, letting the partially eaten carcass fall into her waiting palm.
