Silvertip Mountain Guilty Pleasures

It had been some time since he were here. This exact spot, it was where Chaska told Mason and June the tale of the moon rock. Just thinking to that brought a smile to his face. The joy, the interest they showed. They had loved that story. It was what got him into continuing telling stories in the first place. Now, he may never do that again. Not with any pups. For all he knew, they all ran off or died.

That thought turned his smile upside down. He became frustrated. Not at them, not at life, but himself. He left. He had left them. One more wolf could have made so much more of a difference. But he left. He stamped a paw down, not realising a small rock was there. But he ignored the pain and the warm liquid trickling out. And instead turned away and stomped off.
