the smell—it wasn't right.
cam picked it up while on his way to the stream to fish. the water wasn't quite frozen yet, and he wanted to get in some good practice before everything truly iced over. the scent stopped him dead in his tracks.
it was alien, pungent. not wolf, and certainly not of neverwinter forest. feeling trepidation rise up within him—already on the edge with moonspear's encroachment—cam followed the trace of it on the breeze, his heartbeat picking up speed as it became more prominent. burning his nostrils. . .
his mother had been killed by a creature not of their own kind. and as he shoved his way through the thicket and the cat came into view, all he could see was
blood
the words were brave, but underneath was a quaver.

you can't be here,he said loudly, hoping to attract the attention of any packmates nearby. he stood tall, squaring his shoulders and trying to control anything that would give away his fear.
you don't belong here. leave.
