And when I touched her skin, my fingers ran with blood

Haha! Same. Quick post before work!

The non-aggressive and compliant posturing of the wolves before them was much appreciated. He'd been growing tired of those defiant few who wished to push their bounds. The bull headed were vast in number it seemed, or at least, many of those tempted their borders. He was pleased to discover these two were respectful, but he knew the tides could change so while mentally he relaxed a bit, physically his stance was just as unyielding as before.

The female spoke. It seemed the pair was tracking them. Curious. Something of a pessimist when it came to strangers and their borders, alarm flitted through him briefly as Nanuk parted her mouth to speak. No wolf or pack liked a stalker. The feeling of knowing they'd been tracked was equally unsettling. Still, Nanuk spoke and Iqniq found no fault in her words. He let the words settle as their white warden spoke again.

Iqniq turned his gaze in her direction, deferring their attention towards the beta. Nanuk's words were fair. They echoed the questions he held within his own mind and he did not find any reason to repeat the same. Who were these twin wolves upon their borders and why had they followed them here? All good questions. All things he wished to know.
