I can not bear the shame

She hadn't intended for another wolf to see here, and in fact had been lost so deeply in her self reflection that she did not hear him until he spoke.

She startled, raising her head in alarm, displaying to him her red rimmed eyes, and slightly wild features. Her coat, still damp from her earlier attempt to rid herself of his scent, clung to her body. She wasnt exactly in the right frame of mind to be seeing anyone, but she couldn't bring herself to snap at him and tell him to leave. She had too much self loathing churning in her stomach to turn her anger on anyone but herself.

Still, it took her a moment to answer him. She was slow to bring herself out if her shell and even then it was only a partial effort. "H-hello" she murmured, her voice softer then usual. She had just enough wherewithal to notice he was a larger wolf then she, and had sleek dark features. His amber eyes where bright, and fill with a life she wasnt feeling right at that moment. "Can I help you?" She asked, managing to insert a touch of briskness to her tones. Thank goodness this wolf didnt know her as an Alpha, it would have only doubled her shame.
