Swiftcurrent Creek I walked alone

Arric had worked for years to stay calm and collected. He was pleased to see that it was still working. But he was honest to a fault, and he saw no reason to wear his history and his family close to the chest. No one could hurt them, and they def couldn't hurt him with anything about his family.

He laughed. That's my father's last name. There is actually a tradition in our family that all male wolves, go in search of their own surname. I haven't found mine yet so I use dads. But I'd like to someday.

Laughter colored his vocal chords full bodied and warm. I'll get working on that paw shake right away. Should we have multiple steps or is simple better? He teased gently, with mirth in his eyes.

Do you need a place? We have the room?

And they did. It wasn't like they were bursting at the seams with new recruits. Honestly, it was a little sad. Though he stopped mid thought and spoke again.

though I should warn you there's been some trouble for us from another pack. So I mean that may still be a thing.
