Braxton Leigh looked very bored during the Mating Alliance talk that had started after he’d apologized, and told them about his pack. She’d gotten up at one point to leave only to have her father actually shorten their tether to 12 feet, and she’d been unable to leave the room. Brax had sighed a little as she’d been made by that tether to come back and sit down, only she’d been made to. Which meant to Brax that Hugo’s intent had to be only for her end to shorten, effectively bringing her back. He’d looked at her, but her eyes were on her father, not on him. She did know it was not Brax’s doing, but her father's, he now realized, at Hugo’s smirk. That the man did actually think this was funny, as did both her grandparents, who also chuckled when she’d been made to come and sit back down.
