Silvertip Mountain My Wounds Run Deeper Than My Veins

What Zeke said about Niita made him want to meet her more and more. He just had to see for himself who had caught Steady's eye. Sure, he wasn't a good judge at these kinds of things but surely he could figure it out between those two. Especially since Steady could easily tell him.

And Zeke's next question, Chaska shook his head. He remembered having a talk like this before with Zaria. Someone he needed to meet again. "Not ever have I had a mate. Nor looked for one." And he hadn't planned on ever having one. "Never thought on it really." For some reason, and he hadn't noticed, those last words had a sad touch to them. As if there was some hole in his heart he did not know about.
