Alpine Lake the crownless again shall be queen

The other wolf does not come around the lake to greet her but she can tell he's looking in her direction and she might admit there's something familiar about him. Pale eyes narrow, trying to gather what she can, but he doesn't move anymore than she does, and the chill runs up her mind; Ksenia knows when not to linger around any longer. Her security in the lake has been compromised and so she back pedals a few steps without taking her eyes off him.

When she notes he isn't going to come around to her, she backs away and disappears into the treeline without looking back.
