"I don’t know." Cwmfen danced before her eyes, and Adelaida had no answers for the creature before her. She didn’t know why Cwmfen did not uphold her duty to the pack and avenge Ril’o’s death. She didn’t know why the death hadn’t been prevented in the first place. Cwmfen of course, in Adelaida’s mind, had already many short-comings. Why Sankor preferred the raven female to his own sister, or why the strange looking and even stranger acting female was made a leader in the pack both eluded Adelaida. Just speaking the name of the female left a bitter taste for Adelaida, it was not hard to form more misgivings about the female as she turned to the piebald male and locked eyes with him. Cwmfen should have done something, but she had failed them, failed Ril’o, and failed Adelaida.
Her steps were slow, keeping pace with the male beside her, the one who agreed to escort her back to the pack lands. Still she was wary, she was ever wary of any and all that crossed her path, but he had snagged her. The only canine in a long time to side with her about the luperci, and furthermore how closely his story matched up with her’s. Ever since Umbra had left she had not met such a kindred soul, nad to Adelaida it seemed impossible to write off this male now. He was one of them, yes, but so was she, and for a long while she left silence envelope them, until the words slipped out almost all on their own. “They turned me too…into a Luperci.” The last time she had admitted this to anyone it had come back to blow up in her face, but she felt safe with him. Her secrets were safe with him.
