A mouse scuttled across a dark paw, and went by completely unharmed. Indeed a deer grazed not ten feet from the little over hang boulder that made up the mud and earth colored male?s home. Moss green eyes gazed out through a sheen of pain. No injury could be seen on his form, nor did his scent carry any illness, though he was alarmingly thin. No, what ailed this wolf was emotional. Heart pain. Dull eyes registered the deer?s sudden jerky movements, and his ears caught a howl through the haze of exhaustion. He never slept these days. The encounter in the north had done nothing to help him recover. It had made it worse. The fear of losing her. To that? The command in the howl finally registered. A call for all members of the pack to come and hear what she had to say. Did he want to go? Shaky legs slowly took his weight. No, but he had a duty to the pack that had changed him from an Assassin to a wolf who might be a part of something greater. He didn?t feel great at all, however. His steps were wooden, stilted as underfed and atrophied muscles struggled to hold him steady as the dark brown wraith of a wolf followed the Alpha?s call. When he arrived, he fell into a heap under the horse, who gave a startled jerk and glanced down at him with concern. He lay there with his back to the wolves there, but he listened to what news had to be given. |
