His feet carried him towards the scent of horses. While Inferni held several horses already, it was Ezekiel’s horse that had been wounded. Someone had to pay for that. He stalked through the pasture with well-placed steps, large ears high and listening for anything out of the ordinary. Amber eyes narrowed upon the sight of the barn, and the horses mingling within. Whoever was supposed to be caring for them had certainly gone to lengths to keep them close.

The horses looked up at the approach of strangers, but they were domesticated and used to wolves. Ezekiel began speaking to them, making soft noises and gestures. They all perked up, but two in particular began to approach. One was white, the other a deep bay. Through them, he gathered that things had changed—they no longer were tended to by the woman they recognized as safety. The white one was pregnant. Ezekiel smiled, and motioned to Sa’adat. The white mare approached her cautiously, sniffing with wide nostrils and fidgeting.

“Do you know how to ride?” He asked her.
