Haunted Wood you will be my salvation

yeah, b-but, famine stammered, you don't know that. being tough didn't mean anything; he'd been tough trying to fight a bobcat, and where had that gotten him? were he alone, who knows what might have happened?

what if vanity ended up alone? then he would be alone, too. please, santi, famine plead, his eyes starting to well with emotion, i can be strong, too. he could protect them, if someone would just give him the chance! i'm alpha pup, remember? i can be strong, really.
