Ravensblood Forest Just Give Me A Reason, Just A Little Bits Enough

It was a grey and black colored coywolf that met him on the border - his dominance was not one Zephyr expected as a leader, but he was given the same respect. Here, Zephyr was nothing - and if he was talking to himself, he was nothing anyway - and held no rank, no reason for dominance. While he was already held low, the obsidian brute's spine curved and his ears fell - once, Zephyr would have laughed if you'd have told him one day he'd be submissive before a coywolf.

A gasp left his throat, and for a moment he could only gasp. She was alive! Her nuzzle to the coywolf was a blow to the heart, but her silence was even worse - she didn't even look at him! -had she even missed him? Voice choking in his throat, he called out to her.
