Phelan had seen the whole thing and just shrugged. There was no point in intervening; Corey had to learn to fight his own battles and altho Todd was a nuisance at times, at least he knew that.
Antos fed Mallika once Zeke had been collected. She smiled down on her daughter; she felt completely content, now she finally had Eltos as her soulmate and a beautiful cub with him that they both loved to bits.
Eltos often came in and played with Mallika, but he had to spend the majority of his time helping out in camp; tohugh the renegades dind't share their system, there were still penty of vigilantes in this camp, and he was still their leader. He deferred ot Phel as the unofficial leader of the renegades.
Eltos didnt know whether or not he found Todd annoying or amusing; it was an odd mix of both. Today, though, he was curious about the newcomer, and was looking for Phel to get an explanation.
