Pain is nothing but a contender

Jace had been withdrawn he couldn’t help it, Leaf was gone he couldn’t even find her scent anymore and he couldn’t venture too close to the creek without getting killed on site. He could barely walk and he couldn’t hunt, so yes he was feeling a bit sorry for himself. However, he hadn’t realized anyone noticed he just thought everyone else was so caught up in their own issues. And Ferdie was so obsessed with the pups no one could see them. Yea he could understand it if it were for some cultural thing, but Ferdie just didn’t want anyone to be near them and that bothered Jace a lot….it was normal for other wolves to at least bring food to the den mouth. He frowned thinking hard. He knew it was normal for the males to not want the pups to be seen, but these weren’t even his pups. Jace shook his head enough of this he was overthinking and over analyzing and it was bull.

Jace heard someone following him, one sniff was enough to prove it was his sister so he said nothing as they traveled down the mountain. Mostly to keep from screaming in agony at every foot fall and step. Jace turned blue eyes to his sister after she had answered him and he smiled Yes I’m okay just sore and I would love some company from you any time songbird. He nipped gently at her ear to let her know he was there and happy to see her.
