Chapter Nine

The wolf paused and cocked his head. He heard something rustling in the undergrowth. A small deer stalked out of the woods right in front of him. The wolf wanted to give chase, but Louis held back. He didn’t have it in him somehow.

These days, he didn’t really want to do much of anything anymore.

He knew his wolf suffered being trapped with him in this body they shared. Two symbiotic entities, supposedly, but Louis ignored his wolf’s needs and so they were in discord. They both agreed on one thing, though. They missed Izzy.

Louis wanted to curl up and let the world pass them by until this ache lessened. He had no energy for anything, and he didn’t see the point. So he did his job every day, protected the pack as he always swore he would, but other than that, he did…nothing. Nothing except for wander through the woods in wolf form, repeatedly visiting the area where he’d first happened across Izzy. Some days he fancied he caught the memory of her scent, but he knew that was a crock.

He padded out into the open and let the deer see him. It startled and at once kicked up its heels and ran away. Louis let it and put his nose to the ground, scenting the area.

Another wolf shot by him and he recognized Jake, chasing after the deer he’d just let go. Jake turned and gave a couple of yips, inviting Louis to join him, but Louis shook his head and walked away in the opposite direction. Jake gave a low, mournful howl and then crashed through the forest, hardly being quiet about the pursuit.

Louis didn’t want to spend time with Jake at the moment. He felt betrayed by the pack leaders. He’d given his life to them and for what? For them to turn on him when he really needed them. They could have decided to let Izzy keep her memories.

Drew had come to see him and explained that Brooke was furious with the way things had gone down. She’d given Drew such an earful about it. He’d talked with his father about the strict rules, and Adam had indicated he might be open to changing how they dealt with empathines in future. He’d also admitted that Louis and Izzy had a strong bond, one that superseded the rules about empathines always being with the alphas of a pack. Great! Fat lot of good that did him and Izzy now.

But then, what did it matter in the end? He remembered her words, the way she’d rejected him. She didn’t want him and it tore him apart. He wished he’d never met her. She’d come into his gray world and brightened it, colored it in. When she’d left, it hadn’t turned gray again. No, it had turned black and empty. Like the days after his sister died, only worse, because now Izzy’s departure piled one more loss onto his shoulders.

He slunk back toward the village, head low and tail down.
