Jealous fit

Under the first threads of the morning light, Adela and Egon departed from the shapeshifters' village.

She found herself absorbed in their conversation with the Alpha reflecting on the peculiar way it concluded, especially when she mentioned his daughter. As a result, it took her some time to sense the unease emanating from her husband who walked silently beside her.

"…Egon?"

He shot her a strange side-eye as if she were overlooking the obvious although she genuinely didn't understand what had put him in this tense state. Could it be that he, too, was concerned about the missing little white wolf?

"If this is about the Alpha's daughter, then—"

She stopped when he came to a halt and crossed his arms against his chest.

"What the hell was that response he had towards you?"

It took her a few blinks up at her husband to understand that he was referring to the Beta. And when she did, her anger flared.
