We got back to the cave whenever everyone else was waking up. MoonLight was looking at me with a furious glare in his eyes. I stopped walking and crouched down as he started approaching me. "Where have you been and why was Moon with you?!" he growled. I hated whenever he yelled at me but I had to calm myself down and tell the truth, well most of it anyway. "I was on guard and whenever I looked into the cave I noticed Moon was missing so I decided to follow her scent. Whenever I found her she wasn't hurt and she was alone. We were both very tired because before I found her a broke into a coughing fit. We decided to just make makeshift nests under a bush and sleep there until the morning." He was still glaring at me when he asked, "How did she get out without you noticing?" "I wasn't feeling very good, but since I am already being a burden with my continuous sickness I just dozed off for a few minutes." "WHAT IF THOSE WOLVES CAME BACK AND ATTACKED US BECAUSE YOU WERE ASLEEP?!" I ducked back down and layed my ears flat, he hadn't gotten that mad at me in a long time. My eyes were already puffy from crying before but I could feel the tears rising as he kept yelling at me about the possibilities of us being attacked and how it was my fault. I knew a secret about him that nobody else knew, he didn't know that I knew it. I could completely destroy him right now. I stood up and looked dead into his eyes and growled quietly.

"I know things about you that you didn't think I did. Things that I could use to destroy your dignity. Things that would surprise you that I haven't ended our long relationship yet." I could see his eyes darting as he wondered what I was talking about. I leaned in close to his ear and whispered, "I know that whenever you're on guard duty that you sneak out, you sneak out and meet Dawn, you guys play around and have fun and laugh in the woods," I could feel him tense up, "You're cheating on me and you didn't have the dignity to just tell me we weren't mates anymore," I laughed and then growled, "You want her because she's a lot younger and healthier than I am, my muzzle may be graying but so is yours and I may be smaller and younger than you but I passed my warrior assignment the same day as you and you're what a moon and a half older than me? I'm stronger than you inside and out and don't you forget it. We are no longer mates you can have Dawn all you want, I'm just happy to see our pups getting their own loyal mates, mates way more loyal then you will ever be." I stepped back and started walking away and when I turned and looked back I saw his shocked eyes staring at me. I gave a mischievous smiled and then turned and ran off towards PawStep, she was the only wolf who knew him as long as I did and would be on my side.
