Larksong Grotto the colorado kid

since returning home, vuk had avoided both hiram and jhala pointedly. she did not wish to see the babes that should have been hers, and nor did she wish to see the man who had betrayed her. her days were spent upon patrol, mindlessly gathering prey for winter. 

vuk no longer knew if she wanted to remain at the grotto. terich would follow her wherever she wished, as would seff. she knew very little of the girls hiram had brought to the packlands, his other children; she kept to herself and interacted only with her mate and son. 

waters flashed as her jaws darted into the shallows, closing around a large trout. vuk drew it from the stream and set about stripping the delicate flesh from the tiny bones, her mind chunnering as she worked. the wolves whom seff had left; he said little of them, but vuk was curious, and slowly a tentative plan began to take hold.
