Stone Circle taught me to weep and moan

A girl, who looked about as old as Easy or Lav, appeared, looking perplexed. She vaguely resembled Easthollow's alpha, so Shale took her to be a daughter or niece or something like that, giving her a smile as she approached. He knew he looked a mess, wounded as he was, but he was fairly confident Easthollow wouldn't run him off, especially with him staying off the border.

Her question took him aback, though. "I did," he answered simply, nodding. "He's my brother. I need to talk to him about something."

A ball of ice formed in his stomach as he spoke. Had something happened to Mur? Had he vanished? Why was this girl standing here questioning him so, while the man he called for hadn't answered himself?
