CHAPTER ELEVEN

Brayden slumped and shifted back to his human form. He wasn't sure how long he'd been running, but he was near the Harrison Glacier, his place of peace and tranquility in the frozen hills. It was where he could be alone and silent. A few tourists walked the trail, but the majority left him to the shadows.

He should find one of the packs of his clothes that he left lying around for emergencies, but he just didn't have the energy to move. No, it wasn't a lack of energy it was a lack of motivation. Whatever previous life he had lived, the gods of nature must really hate him.

He rolled onto his back and felt the sun warm his face. If he lay here long enough, maybe he would melt like the ice around him; slowly eroding over decades.

"You better have lotion on that pale skin of yours, or you'll burn in no time. It's not tough like my old puma skin." Miss Molly’s voice entered his head and the shadow of a puma came over him. She was a part of their pack, but not one they saw often. She spent all her time high in the mountains in her natural form. She had been involved in the fighting with Kas' grandfather and lost her leg. She preferred to be shifted as she said that it was easier to be on three legs rather than one. He had to admit she was kind of sprightly still and when she ran, you wouldn't even know she had only three legs.

"I'll roll over again in an hour. Should prevent burning in anywhere I don't want it."

"I don't know. The place I'm worried about could get a lot closer to the sun if you keep thinking of that cute girl of yours."

"Miss Molly!"

"What? You're a big lad. Just like your father was."

"I don't need to think of him that way, thank you." Brayden cringed.

"I remember many a time catching him after your mother up here. For a human, she could move pretty fast. It was impossible for him to hide how much he loved that woman even with his two big hands. He was a great man. It wasn't right what happened to him. Nuka had no business..." She trailed off.

"Nuka had no business what?" He sat up sharply; suddenly motivated.

"Nothing."

"Tell me!" he demanded.

"Nuka had no business being on Kas' lands that day." She frowned as she spoke.

"Did he kill my father?" That seemed to be the question that he was endlessly asking people.

"It is not as simple as one person killing your father. What happened that day runs so much deeper. You must understand that. When the time is right to tell you, Kas will."

"I don't see why I have to be kept in the dark." All he ever found was frustrating answers when it came to his father’s death.

"It is safer that way. Kas may control these lands, but he is still governed by the Council." She paused. "Let's go to my cave.
