Redhawk Caldera two years past

Even when someone else came close Eljay didn't notice; he just kept walking, his feet numb, senses deaf to anything around him. When he heard the voice he suddenly jumped up, heart racing, ears flattened and tail tucked. He didn't think that anyone was near enough, let alone following him, and the statement that was spoken hit like a brit to top it off. You're leaving. He bit his lip and looked away guiltily, a confirmation that it was true.

After a few seconds of silence Eljay murmured, "I — I'm sorry, but I gotta." He didn't want to be a bother anymore and they had Lagan now, who was better in every way imagineable. Eljay felt that he was only in the way now, and he knew young wolves usually left home, like Liffey had, so it was time for him to spread his wings too, wherever that would lead; for them.
