Restless Tonight

Koda padded along the outskirts of the plateau, alone. He told himself he was patrolling the border to keep his pack safe, but he wasn't alone because he wanted to be. He was alone because the only wolf that had given a crap about him was gone.

Kesuk was on his mind again. Their last conversation was still ringing in his ears. He could still see the hurt in her eyes when he told her he was going to remain with the pack. He'd let her go, and for what. A bunch of wolves that couldn't even be bothered to learn his name.

A rustle in the undergrowth ahead made Koda come to a halt. He peered into the trees, but it was too dark to see if anyone was there. "Someone there?" he asked, in a calm voice. He wasn't too concerned about it, he figured it was someone trying to mess with him.
