Phoenix Maplewood white winter hymnal

eventually, another man had arrived. this one much paler in complexion than the first one. he had reassured kasia that they were only patrolling, and they wouldn't try to chase her off. good. her gaze was now focused on the second wolf who arrived, the one who actually looked like a northern wolf. kasia hailed from the far north as well, but she possessed dark fur uncommon among the wolves up north,

"yes, been on the run for some time now," she told the second man. it was too late before kasia realized her mistake, probably due to exhaustion, revealed too much, she scolded herself. hopefully, they wouldn't press for more information. kasia was definitely not in the mood to talk about her past. she never was. she was ashamed of choices she made when she was younger and dumber, and now she bore the scars to prove them. 

she noticed that the first male had taken a step back, but he remained cordial even as the pack leader? she wanted to assume spoke to her. maybe she had lucked out after all even though she didn't consider herself lucky.
