It was uncomfortably hot once again. After the cruel storm it felt the air temperature should have fallen. The monster that had torn up the land should have been the forefront of winter but here Sangi’lak was under a cruel heat less than two days after the last shower had faded into the wind. But it wasn’t the heat on Jaden’s mind. He paid little mind for the first time as he panted his way through Sangi’lak. Heat would not slow him just as bitter cold could not have frozen him from his purpose. Today he would begin on the path of solidifying himself as leader of this pack. Today he would earn respect or he would instill the fear of dominance. He would live. Jaden would have killed him before, yes. Would have if it mattered. If it changed anything. If X’ies had truly taken his love from him. But none of that was true and Jaden understood now. He knew who was to blame for his broken heart. But not even that mattered. Without love he was left with only one purpose. Sangi’lak. This pack and this place he had built was all he had. Ensuring it grew and prospered and lived for generations to come had to consume him. He would live for them, he would die for them. And it would started today.

It was a plan that sounded better than death but was far more complicated. The first hurtle to overcome would be X’ies. The wolf was ruthless, heartless, and weak bodied. For all his words, Jaden had never seen anything physically impressive in X’ies. It was not enough to talk. Instinct drove only the strongest of body to lead. Wolves had been that way for millennia and Sangi’lak’s nomads would be no different. If X’ies’ superior mind could not be reasoned with then his inferior body would be dominated. Jaden could do it. But there was one thing blocking Jaden from assured leadership and that was the other leader. The Issor had protected X’ies thus far. She believed him worthy of her womb when she thought her Issum not. He knew she would not allow him to shred X’ies if it became necessary. If the wolf’s fear was to be gained, he would have to understand that no one would defend him from death. So he was to find the woman he once felt a deep love for and tell her what he planned. She was weak and could not fight. If she was foolish enough to believe she could beat the Issum while in such a state then he would be forced to subdue her before moving on. Plain. Simple. Instinct.

But he would not leave all his hopes just in her apparent weakness. He had stacked the odds in his favor. He stood on two feet and carried all the weapons he had. Bow, arrows, the gauntlets that had defeated X’yrin once before, and the throwing knife Thana had once given to him hidden upon his forearm. It was tucked beneath the straps which anchored metal to flesh and would stay there unless needed. More insurance. The only thing free from his being was the cougar tooth necklace. He did not scent the air as a loving companion might. She was a leader who would be convinced. His steps forward seemed to echo with the words nothing more as he pressed forward. He would not face defeat this day.

Jaden does. Jaden speaks. Jaden thinks.
