The fact that Aurora had been carrying a dead pup on her back was haunting. How long had he been dead and she hadn't noticed? She shivered, shoving the thoughts away before they made her remember what was being done to the pup's body right at that moment. Why she had allowed Gut to take the pup she did not know, other than that it was a waste if they just left the body to rot. And at least then if Bloody ever came back, it would be one less thing for the two males to fight over. She sighed. Damn males and their sense of pride. At least Gut wasn't arrogant, though she still didn't fully trust him. She'd just have to wait and see how all this turned out.
