Swiftcurrent Creek No one Dared, Disturb the sound of silence

Arric moved on the borders as the dawn light lit up the broken cloud sky. Sprinkling of dust motes swirled and played around his paws, while the edges grew wet from the dew. The sparkling lights of water on the grass, played like shimmering glass on his eyes and he took in a deep breath of cool spring air. Inhale, exhale, he stood there for a brief beat of a minute, counting and breathing and felt the calm that he always did settle over him.

Lifting a leg he marked the nearest tree and then moved past to use claws and broken fur on the rest. Water when he could. He briefly thought of all the females that now lay nestled in their pack lands and how many of them would have children. Bella sure, but not he wondered if Wren would because her scent had wreathed around them like a poison lately. 

He and Akavir had been staying away, but also ever vigilant. It made him nervous that she knew the cowboy and her violent reaction to finding out what kind of wolf he was. Only made Arric suspect that there had been more to it than she cared to admit.
