Boiko raced through the trees. D a m m i t. The one time he had to go off and f u c k a girl, his father had to call! Boiko was definitely regretting this. But Natalya was enchanting. . . .
In no time, he reached the packlands of Tarben. Slinking in, Boiko noticed a couple of new faces.
Nadia was waiting. She cocked her head at Boiko, then he saw her nose twitch, and her jaw set, her eyes threw daggers at him, and he actually thought he heard her snarl. Boiko was confused. Surely Nadia wouldn't hate him for, uh, sleeping with somebody? He wasn't so sure.
Boiko bowed his head to Soraya and Beartooth. He noted another heavily pregnant girl with wings in the clearing. Boiko's eyes swept around. He sat down beside Nadia, and she stamped on his paw. Boiko bit back a yelp.
What is with you?! he snapped. Boiko didn't hear his sister reply; instead she glared at him stonily and turned away.
