~ Tiefing ~
"You shouldn't always wear that form. I doubt it can be healthy. Why don't you become human, just for a day?"
"I CAN'T."
The woman glared at me. Well, I was good at glaring, so I glared back -- I glared at her until my eyes felt like watering. Hers didn't.
"I said all I'm going to say!" I snapped. She continued not to blink.
"What do you mean, you can't? Of course you can, Tiefing. You know how. What's there to be so afraid of?"
"I am not afraid!!!"
I felt like howling. DAMN Hello everyone!! Thank you so much for reading my work <3 As always, please leave a rating and a comment if you’re enjoying it, as that’s the best way to help my book grow!! Most people don’t bother -- can you help me out by being one of the few? ;)
I love you all, and happy reading!!!

~ Cillium ~Drip. Drip, drip. The gentle plunking of water droplets tickled the back of my neck as they fell, uncaring, from one of the branches. How annoying! It reminded me of my cave.Still though, I made no effort whatsoever to move from where I sat: upon a damp log amidst a clearing of trees, while the sunlight shone down around me and reflecting off the snow. This time however, it didn't blind me."It's wetter out today" I said. "Sometimes it's dryer, sometimes it's less, even though we're surrounded by what is actually water. Does it normally go through phases like this in the winter?"The woman who perched upon the log beside me nodded. And she looked beautiful...'

I took Surry's advice and spent the night in contemplation of what was to come. Less than a week from now the remainder of my Pack -- minus the seven children and a couple of others, particularly the elderly Saro -- would be leaving this place, possibly never to return.Our destination was the southernmost trail up the mountain. When my group had first descended, frozen and starved, the furthest thing from our minds was "I wonder how we'll climb back up this thing the next time." I had no idea if it was even feasible -- hence why Rufias had gone off to check on it early this afternoon.He believed it was doable, and I believed in him. Therefore, there was no more use in hesitating beyond waiting for the weather to shift.We had decided to move out on the first warmer day that came along, when the temperature was at

~ Tiefing ~I remembered a moment not very long ago, when a wolf had caused me harm without actually CAUSING me harm. I had forgotten his name quickly.But I could still remember the feeling.When Rayla first stood before me and showed me her teeth, the man alongside her took me by surprise. I could admit that. His teeth hurt my arm where they sank in; that was nothing unusual, and certainly nothing I wasn't used to. But when he bit me, my mind flooded with memories -- and damaging feelings.I vaguely remember stumbling around in a fog while I fought for control, and trying to shake him off of me. It was stupid of Rayla not to attack me then -- if she had, she might have even KILLED me

Winter gales sometimes leave the most bittersweet trails. I thought about this as my Pack stood there in a silent reverie, watching the cave that had been our home for many weeks now.It was silly, I suppose, to hold such an attachment to a place that I knew deep down could never house us for long. The days we spent here paled in comparison to the place we all knew and loved; yet still, we had worked so very hard to turn it into a livable space within a very short amount of time. This cave had been our sanctuary, our retreat, when we felt we had nowhere else to go. I found it impossible not to feel a strong sense of gratitude -- an obligation to say what might be a final farewell.I spared a moment to look around myself. On either side, my closest companions stood silently in watchful commiseration. Surry and Rufias wove their fingers together tightly on my lef

~ Tiefing ~Snarling, I picked up a chair and threw it heavily across the room. It smacked into the opposite wall and bounced off with a ‘thunk’, only one of its legs splintering partly. Not the result I’d been hoping for.It wasn't enough. Damn these walls, they weren't Strong enough!! And the same went for the rest of my pack."They ESCAPED." My voice trailed out like a cold mist, intent on choking the life out of anyone who heard it, I fancied. "HOW."The man standing in the doorway swallowed.

The snow blinded me. Winter gales buffeted my ankles, my arms and my shoulders. With my head pressed deep into my armpit I moved along as cautiously as possible, clinging tightly to the rocks in the vain hope that if I stumbled, I might still be able to catch myself.This was definitely the most dangerous, and perhaps the most stupid, thing I had ever done. And I had fought with Tando -- thrice.Cillium's outline was barely visible right in front of me. *How are you hanging in there, Cil?**Not great* came the reply, which didn’t surprise me. *Has Rufias any idea when we might be done? I can barel

When the first rays of dawn fell the next morning, they fell upon a ring of bodies; huddled together like a patch of grass in a desolate land.Hardly anyone was awake to see it. I most certainly was not. Not like Cil, however, for it was his gentle stirring that awakened me from my sleep.I opened my blurry eyes, feeling his fingertips brush across my temples and down to my lips with the tenderness that only a lover's caress can approach."Good morning, my love" he whispered against my ear, drawing forth shivers from deep within.I grinned. Permitting my eyes to close once more, I lay back, and quickly succumbed to his scent.~We waited for at least an hour before c

~ Cillium ~Something strange was in the air this morning that had nothing to do with the dampness.Rayla seemed on-edge. So did Rufias and Surry. After speaking with Mem in hushed tones for some time while the rest of us waited, the four of them joined us again without comment. Rayla gave the order to move on -- and that was it.What was the matter? And why hadn't she confided in me yet?I watched her from behind as we walked, for once not distracted by her beauty and my... interest. She chewed her lip, something she often did when she was worried. For some reason it annoyed me.That almost made me stumble. Me? Mad at
