Greatwater Lake The Hanging Tree

"Literally...which is not so bad, considering it just made you smile. " he spoke and winked.  The male shook his head.  "Wile your words are true, I would give up on finding reason for everything that unfolds in this life or in me. You'd get a headache before the end of the day. " he warned and teased at the same time. The reason behind things. It had driven Akela mad. He was still trying to find a reason behind what had happened to his mate and their unborn pups, how he ended up here, so far from his native home, how he had been forced to leave everything behind for her. Life was a strange path , and became even stranger when she finally revealed her name.

The wolf stopped, frozen into place while she passed him with a  sprint to the lake. Time stood still for seconds on while the wounds in his heart just ached with a new more aggressive pain. His pack believed in the native American "religion" , particularly the tribe that believed that a dead's name should never be spoken out , because it could just bring the spirit back, because it was called. Yet here she was, with Catori... from afar she did look like his mate, no ? He shook his head. He was losing it again. He was sure of it. Quietly and slowly he approached her, unable to take his eyes off of her. He stopped at the bank, to watch her hunt the swarm of fish she had probably seen.
