Phoenix Maplewood Shadows

@Saena, feel free to jump into this if you get the chance!

Reek's howl died away and there was only silence. That awkward, thick type of silence that weighs heavy on the soul.  He waited for his mate for a moment, but ended up deciding that he would need to act whether or not his wife was present.  The wound on her back leg was beginning to heal, but Wynter was not out of the woods just yet. Infection could set in at any time if the wound hadn't been properly washed.  If nothing was done, she would be playing a dangerous game.  

Part of Reek felt uneasy bringing a wolf into the heart of his territory, let alone his ex-wife. His relationship with Saena had finally gotten back on track and Reek wasn't willing to make another mistake. Instead, he would take her around the border and to where the stream intersected with neutral territory. "It won't be far," he said in hopes of calming her. "I promise." For once, this was one he could keep.

She made her way to her feet and stumbled forward. Reek took this as his cue to slowly lead her down to the water, all the while, looking behind him periodically to see that she was still there.
