Fayne was still angry, saying she could fight, but her wounded mate tried to calm her, reassuring her that Zalen would bring Amy to justice. The Alpha felt a warm feeling fill him, to know that Noah had seemingly forgiven him for the punishment those many moons ago, You didn’t disappoint me, Tharin did the same as you, everyone is just worried about the pack now. He said this softly, giving Noah a little bit of a smile.
Sky came bursting out of the den then, a bundle in her arms, which she revealed to be medical supplies. Zalen crinkled his nose at the smell of it; he did not truly understand how medicine worked, and so left it to the healers. He wondered where Deuce was though, she was the matriarch healer of the pack. But Sky seemed to know what she was doing and Zalen watched intrigued until she ordered him to gather water. Zalen was slightly taken aback at the brashness of the command, and shook his head briskly, fluffing out his mane. He brushed it off however, because he knew she was just doing what was best for Noah. But then the nature of the question hit him and he flicked an ear in frustration; what was he going to gather water with?
Then, like a bolt of lightning, he remembered his bottles. There were not that many of them left from his days as a loner, but he had saved a few, and they were in the deeper parts of the communal den. He was quick to stand and retrieve them, and go to the Little River a ways off to gather the crisp liquid before returning to the den, and setting the bottles down beside Noah.
The package that Fayne was still clutching caught Zalen’s eye and he started, Oh, Noah. I apologize for what happened to you by retrieving this package, but its contents are for you. He looked at Fayne, prompting her to open it for him.
