Swiftcurrent Creek And touched the sound of silence

Arric made it back to the pack lands and he shifted away from the light. He thought of @Reverie and panicked slightly, at the thought of the she wolf. He had jumped into so many rivers and creeks on his way here, to get rid of his smell He had zigged and zagged. He'd keep an eye on the borders for days to come.

 One more dip in the water and he stood dripping with eyes closed. All the scars that littered his body, the small and the large. That usually he hid well, bared to the air. Around his throat, his stomach, his legs. Small and medium white slashes, some pink and raised. His fur long enough adn dark enough that they hid them well. But now the water slicked his fur. The warm seeping blood fell from his left shoulder. And he took a deep breath, closing his eyes. 

Absolute self-loathing making off with his control. He shouldn't have attacked her back, he should have run, but then again that would have led her here and he couldn't risk that. Not ever.
