It was time. Finally time. No more waiting about, no more routine. He felt it in his bones and he swiftly moved through the trees towards Halifax. The wolfess, Noir, which he had met with previously, had finally called upon him to aid her in her mission to change the ways of the land. Namely, these changes would take place in Salsola, a pack he hardly knew much about, save the fact that they kept slaves, something that did no portend well for their fate if Zalen had anything to say about. How low could a species get, that they become so lazy and arrogant in themselves that they put into forced servitude their own kind? He recalled his meeting with the coywolf Vesper the other day, how some Luperci looked down upon her for what she was, and untainted creature. How despicable, what had his kind become?
These things roiled in his mind like a rough tide as he came close to the appointment meeting place, a shack, out of the way and forgettable; the perfect place for a secret rendezvous. Noir’s smell was in the air and he knew she had already arrived, but he smelt only one other besides herself. He was early. Like a soft breeze he moved into the shadows of the building, it was delapodated and becoming one with its natural surroundings, which brought him comfort, something that did not happen often when he was placed in Hume houses.
Upon entering he saw the lightly colored wolfess and nodded briskly to her in greeting, then set his eyes upon the lightly colored male there and nodded to him as well. They seemed similar, both in appearance and scent, and Zalen guessed that they were related, most likely mother and son. Zalen moved to sit in on a dusty old window seat, its fabric torn and removed by decades of mice and other varmints. He sat, drawing his legs up beside him in a crouching, animalistic manner, and watched the others and waiting for more to arrive.
