Silvertip Mountain The Wolf Who Cried Future

Chaska had a hint of a smile. Zaria was urging him to go on, and that made him happy. It also meant that he had made it simple for her to understand. So he did what she asked for, and continued, but not before taking in a breath.

"But he had a secret. His closest friend and adviser was the only one who ever knew; the deaths were planned. The adviser would give the alpha an idea, and after the victim was told their fate, the adviser would make it a reality. No one ever saw through the lie." Chaska paused to take a breath, then went on. "But one morning, a stray wolf came upon this tribe. And he had a plan of his own. For he had once been a victim, and had survived his given fate. He gathered followers in secret from wolves who had lost their loved ones, and together, they prepared to put an end to the trickster's ways." He stopped there, and glanced at Zaria from the corner of his eye.
