Bluetail stood close by Darkpelt, making sure her sitting flank touched his. She licked her love's ears comfortingly as she sensed him tense up and his tail thrashed.
He was angry at Smokefur? Her love's eyes were sharp and hard with his challenge, and Bluetail didn't want to even imagine a fight may break out.
It was clear that Darkpelt was agitated, so she tried to best to soothe him, though he didn't know why he was. She rubbed her chin over the top of his head since he was still lying down, and she conjured up delicate purring from her chest. His tangy earthy musky scent rose from between his ears and filled her nostrils, and it made her knees tremble in weakness.
"It's ok...It's ok..." she whispered to him, trying to appease him.
What ever is Darkpelt challenging Smokefur for?
"Rainstorm was here too?" she asked, her eyes widening.
They had been spied upon, but why?
