Falls of the Hinterlands rhaeadr

While this takes place after she's arrived home and been settled a while, she's going to have memories of this incident that may make it seem like it happened more recently than it actually did, lol.

She's covered in blood.  This time, it isn't from a man she could have loved; it's from some prey animal that put up too much of a fight.  But it still reminds her of him in a way.  Even hunting has become hard for her.  Now whenever she finishes off some creature, she imagines tearing through Nashoba's throat, and then Siarut's.  

It makes her sick.  She leaves her kill where it falls and avoids the urge to retch.  

She feels useless.  What good is a wolf if she can't hunt?  What good is she if she can't defend her family?  She follows the stream to the falls in the hope of washing up, and finds that she is not alone.  Her solemn gaze finds Llewellyn's.  From the smell of blood, she can't tell if he's found what he's looking for.  Did you ever find somewhere to settle?
