He had just finished speaking with Tharin and Fayne, and he knew that waiting would be a bad idea. So he was quick to search out Shadowfang. He knew the dark warrior would be near the den site, but not at it; solitude seemed to be his only protection right now. But Zalen could sniff him out, and as he tracked him down, he thought on what he might say to him.
Zalen was concerned about Shadow, about his well-being. He was a pack brother and the Alpha cared deeply for him, but he knew that part of what he had to say would not be easy for the male to hear. Amy had to be brought to justice for what she had done and the others considered her punishment to be nothing less than death. As much as Zalen disliked the idea of taking the life of another, but in this case he knew there to be no other choice.
As for the part about Insomnia, Zalen was not sure exactly what he would say on that. He knew what it was like to lose a loved one; his mother and adopted brothers had been killed at a young age. It hadn’t been until he had met Soran and Titania that the pain of that had really gone away, and now even Soran was gone. Loss was a part of life, and Zalen had learned that the best thing to do was to focus on the ones around you instead of fixating on what could have been. How could explain this to Shadowfang?
The male’s scent was getting stronger, and Zalen knew he was close, but he didn’t want to just barge in one wherever the man was. So he lowered his head and let loose a low, guttural call that was like a mix between a howl and a whine, and for Shadow’s ears only.
