Walkin' around singing the blues in bright red Jimmy Choos

Weeks after the pack hunt, Saena still suffered the occasional headache, and still nursed a deep resentment for the misogynistic hunt leader and his arrogant comments. Being kicked in the cheek by the doe was a mistake, a miscalculation that could happen to any wolf, even the best hunters. She halfheartedly hoped it would happen to him next, and that a deer would take his filthy head off, but she couldn't follow through with these thoughts in good conscience.

Perhaps for this reason, Saena avoided spending long periods of time in the pack. She didn't know what had happened after she left the scene of the pack hunt, but judging by the fact Koda still walked in their lands, the outcome wasn't satisfactory for her. In fact, she'd told her father not a week ago that she felt they all shared the same opinion. It was no wonder she spent longer and longer away from the pack, keeping her most recent anger hidden well.

Her journey took her around the mountain and to the base of the opposite side, where a lake collected at the bottom of a grand waterfall. From the sun glinting off its surface, Saena could see it carried away as a river that dwindled into a creek, but her knowledge ended there; that that creek was in fact Swiftcurrent Creek was unknown to her. Pausing at the edge of the misty lake, the female lowered her snout and drank deeply, hoping the icy water could take the edge off her current headache.
