Chapter 10 – Whispers in the Den
Last Updated:
2025-10-01 23:06:03The ridge was behind me, but the cold still clung to my bones. My fingers ached, and the ache in my legs was a deep, throbbing thing that promised I’d feel every step tomorrow.
We entered the camp just as the sun had cleared the treetops. A few wolves were already up, hauling firewood, repairing fences, or tending the smokehouses. But when Damien walked in ahead of me, the work slowed. Heads turned.
And when they saw me following him, boots caked with frozen dirt and my hair wind-snarled, the stillness shifted.
It wasn’t admiration I saw in their eyes.
It was suspicion.
I’d been stared at before. In Silvermoon, the glances were always sharp, thrown like stones from a distance. Here, they were closer, more assessing as though they were measuring my worth and finding the scales unbalanced.
A tall, broad-shouldered wolf I didn’t know muttered something to a younger one beside him. They both smirked. I caught the word pet.
