Turk was watching Mazelina a week later, irritated. She had been avoiding him for some reason and he didn't know why. When they were alone together, she was harsh and used clipped words. She seemed angry at him and it was affecting the pack.
"What happened?" he asked his six in the sitting room that afternoon.
They knew what he was talking about so there was no hesitation when Anju came forward. "I don't know exactly, but Marth pulled her away to talk. She didn't come back after it and wee thought she went straight to you."
Shiba now said, "Later, we saw her and asked, and she told us that nothing occurred and to not tell you."
Turk felt his anger rising. "And you did as she said!"
The females flinched. "In our defense, we kind of forgot until the pack began to feel it," Shiba squeaked.
Turk left them and stormed off to find his mate again.
