Swiftcurrent Creek halifax

Shadow's mind drifted off to the night that he had arrived at Swiftcurrent Creek's Pack borders. He had been exhausted, after all he had been running nonstop for days now. He hadn't eaten for a week in his desperation to find a new pack. It was only by pure luck that he had arrived that night and they hadn't kicked him out like many other packs did. If he ran for another day or two, he'd been sure that he'll be dead. He was very grateful for the pack and its protection. He would prove that he is a useful addition to the pack and not let them down.

Shadow studied Bazi closely but making sure it didn't seem like he was staring too intently at the Beta for that would be disrespectful. He laughed inwardly, after all he wouldn't be thinking like that in his last few months of being a loner.

Bazi seemed off. In fact, from what Shadow had observed, the pack seemed down. Something bad must happened to it, to them. Her eyes must once be full of light and playfulness but they were now gone, the warmth was all gone now. Hopefully, Shadow thought, this trip might bring a bit of her back.

Shadow's eyes focused again and he shook his head. "No, I haven't eaten."
