Horizon Ridge You like to drink and to smoke to take away the pain

The last wolf Nieve ever expected to see here was Rosalyn. It was true that in their spare time, she and Reyes had been searching in the vicinity of Blacktail Deer Plateau for any signs of their missing mother and siblings, but it would be a lie to say Nieve hadn't begun to succumb to some of Reyes' pessimism in the process. They'd gone weeks without finding even a clue to their whereabouts, and yet here was Rosalyn, travelling down the coast in the company of Cam with his beautiful green eyes.

Cam with his beautiful green eyes was momentarily put aside, because holy shit, mom! Nieve pressed her head into her mother's chest and her tail wagged rapidly behind her. Reyes would be so excited! She couldn't wait to see his face when he saw his dam again. Mama's on the plateau back that way, Nieve said, pulling back from Rosalyn long enough to gesture to the south. We all went there when the grotto flooded, but we don't know where Scarab or Marisol went. We missed you so much! Erzulie would be so happy, she thought.

And then she remembered Cam with his stunning eyes and she turned back to him, and instantly her face fell. He didn't look too pleased about this development. You should come home with us, she suggested, tilting her head to peer at him hopefully.
