Frozenleaf always knew she was a little over-the-top when things didn't go her way, but there was no way she was a murderer! She definitely wouldn't kill her own mate!
She didn't kill Brokenshadow. He infuriated her, but she just didn't think she had the strength to do it - even though what he did meant everything to her.
"But...but you promised me!"
Brokenshadow shook his head. "No, Frozenleaf. I don't want any kittens right now."
Extreme sadness took the white she-cat over. "Then when?"
His eyes flashed. "Maybe never."
Terror exploded within Frozenleaf - what she had been waiting for would never come. "What? Never? But you promised me - "
"Enough, Frozenleaf. I said no. No kittens."
Frozenleaf jumped up. "Brokenshadow! You - you promised me!"
Brokenshadow crinkled his nose. "No kittens."
"You don't really love me," she fired back.
He just stared at her for a moment.
"You don't really love me," Frozenleaf repeated.
Silence.
"Brokenshadow!"
"I'm sorry," he said flatly. "I wasn't listening."
"I - I hate you!"
Frozenleaf bound away, and that was the last she saw of him.
For a while.
