Neve ran as fast as his legs could carry him through the snowy village.
The Winnie the Pooh blanket fluttered behind him like a cape, slowing him down slightly. But he did not care about that. He had to get to the meeting. He had to stop whatever replacement was happening. He had to fix this.
But even as he ran, doubt crept into his mind.
How was he going to stop it? He did not know anything about the tiger tribe politics. He did not understand their customs or their power structures. All he had done was accept the bond from Ryker. He had not built any real relationship with him beyond that.
He felt guilty.
He did not want to ruin Ryker's relationship with his tribe. He did not want to be the reason the tiger prince lost everything he had worked for.
He got to the village center and stopped.
