Blackfeather Woods Departure

Burke laid by the den entrance when he heard the howl. His head lifted, snows were falling even in the thick dark woods. His ears turned to the howl, his heart sinking for a moment. Potema was leaving. His ears fell back but then he did throw his head back and howled a goodbye to her. It wasn't great to lose his daughter and another healer but it was for the best. The large male would miss her. 

How many more wolves did he have to lose? Burke grew sad and placed his head against the ground. This wasn't going to end well for him if all the wolves he cared about would leave him. It would only make him more bitter and vile. His ears flattened, annoyed that he was too attached. Now he had to deal with the heartbreak.
