He’d never had much issue with Halo. Now Enigma on the other hand, he’d never been able to see Jael as anything more than a wolf. They were wolves—all of them—but Enigma had chosen to believe the words of a liar. He’d idolized the man and the dream he’d shown then, instilling into them, but Jael had been different. White as snow he’d looked the most like their mother. Enigma had Vitium’s eyes. And Halo looked the most like a coyote out of all of them. He needed to speak to her, to try and give her the slightest grain of truth regarding their heritage. He’d found Colibri. He was neither wolf nor coyote, and he’d never fit completely into either world, but that didn’t mean he should deprive others of potential truth. She hadn’t looked the same. Halo had defied the odds with her finely sculpted features and crimson eyes that told nothing. There was no way he could even consider himself a de le Poer now, for he didn’t even know who or what he was beyond his mother’s embrace. He didn’t care anymore. Stealing through the moonlight like a thief he moved quickly, swiftly toward his goal. He’d never trespass, for that wasn’t his place. It’d been a long time since he’d even dared call Inferni home, and even then it hadn’t felt right to him. He’d adored the coyotes that’d chosen to disregard the wolf within him, and yet he had always abhorred having to deny who and what he truly was. He was the vagabond that didn’t even deserve a name, for he didn’t belong anywhere. Only the wide, open earth was meant to contain him, with open skies and no walls to hold him in. Free your body, free your mind, he’d tell himself, pausing only a moment to breath before approaching the skull-ridden borders. He would not go far. He’d wait until the chance arrived for what he needed. He hoped they’d still be respectable toward him, even if he could no longer call himself one of them. No, to be otherwise would only prove their ignorance and exactly why he’d needed to run away in the first place. Eyes born of hellfire and madness scanned the horizon, searching for life and his next cue. |
