Swiftcurrent Creek The fury that eats me alive

It was amazing how useless the creature that now revealed his back end to them was. Scimitar watched him go, feeling Bazi's hesitant presence beside him though unwilling to take his eyes from the swarthy mountain wolf, if only because he did not trust him to fully leave. Jace had spoken about wanting nothing more than to help the girls from that peak, in perhaps less eloquent words, but when Bazi had spoken of conditions, he had been all but unwilling to truly cooperate. Basically. it was either Ferdie's way or the highway.

Perhaps the king of the mountain had best come down to tell them that himself.

A low rumble pressed past his lips as Bazi finally spoke, holding back a slight wince as she cast him a gentle kiss on his cheek. He wanted to tell her then and there that under no circumstances would the black Beta be allowed so close to Swiftcurrent lands if he wanted to keep his hide, but now was not the time to threaten the she-wolf's friend. She had lost more than enough in one day, and he did not know how she would feel to those sentiments.

Instead, she spoke of separating, and Scimitar gave a small nod. "Stay safe," he murmured, his tongue smoothing across his lips to clean away some blood. Tentatively, he pressed his nose to her cheek, his eyes worriedly lingered upon her as he made to walk back to the Creek.. this time, alone as she left to do what it was she needed to.
