Through the Woods

Blue and I sat pressed next to a cluster of bushes, watching the alphas and Lex peer over the edge of a sharp drop in the land. Joon and Byriel exchanged a few glances, seeming to have an entire conversation without saying a word.

Feeling uneasy, I looked up at the Moon. Despite being only a crescent, she was bright tonight, covering everything in soft white light. It should have brought me comfort, but the thick stench of dozens of unknown wolves consumed the air. Each shift in the wind made fear thread down my spine, and I pushed deeper into Blue's side.

I didn't know how we'd get around the camp at the base of the cliff. The steep ledge was surrounded by jutting rocks and massive boulders, making it difficult to tell how far we'd have to travel to get around the area, assuming we could even find somewhere to climb down. The rising mountains on both sides didn't look promising, and Ossory stood just in the distance, only a few days away, but the straightest path was forward, through the camp below.

Byriel tapped Joon's shoulder, and he hitched a thumb backward. Both alphas and Lex slowly inched back, and Blue pulled at my arm to stand up. The second my feet touched the grass, Joon lifted me off the ground and carried me into the safety of the treeline. I pressed my cheek to his shoulder, absorbing his woodsy scent. My wolf settled a bit.

Once we were a good distance away, hidden in the shadows of several trees, Joon sat me down. Then turned to Byriel.

"What do you think? Do you know them?" he whispered as we settled into a tight circle on the ground.

"I recognize two," Byriel said. "Both good wolves. I want to say we can trust them, but, if I'm honest, I've been away from home for too long. I'm not sure what the air is like in Ossory anymore. It seems a lot has changed while I've been away."

His eyes pulled down as he spoke, and I couldn't help but feel bad for him. The alpha was full of so much conflict and fear, and when he thought no one was looking, you could scent his unease in the air.

"Obviously, we need to avoid them," Joon groaned, clearly not liking Byriel's assessment.

"How?" I asked, pushing into Lex. Blue smashed into the siren's other side, both of us trying to leech the heat from his body. It was especially cold, the change in season cutting to my bones. I missed the magical hot spring.

"We can't drop down," Joon said, pulling me away from Lex and tucking me under his arm. He was so warm. "It's too steep and will put us practically on top of them. You know this land," he said to Byriel. "Is there an easy way down?"

"I haven't been this close to the Black River in so many years. But, if my memory serves me, there should be a gradual decline in the land on the far west side of Ossory.
