Shadewood A time so long ago

Minori watched the outrage take over Issun's expression and frowned at his question. Had she been followed? She hadn't covered her tracks, hadn't even made sure his scent wasn't around before returning to the Shadewood. "I....don't know" she confessed. "Issun...You should know our full history. He was my designated mate from the moment we were born. We grew up together, our skills and personalities an even match. Where I lead out soldiers, he was my second in command. It's almost as if he were half of my soul" she paused for a moment as the words she spoke burned her like fire "Then one day he lead humans and their hunting dogs to my pack. I was taken as well as my little brother. Apparently it backfired on him too. He's the reason I got taken from japan and lost everything" she felt a bit better having gotten that off her chest yet she knew she was witholding the important parts. Like despite how much she hated him, seeing him set her heart racing. Like how part of her was relieved he was okay even though the rest of her wanted him dead.
