Shadewood something immutable, an immovable destiny we could never alter

Z hadn't meant to wander so close to the den; he definitely didn't know Minori or Issun, like at all, and he was probably the last wolf that should be anywhere near a kid. But, he somehow missed the scent of mother and pups as he meandered through the trees in his usual aimless fashion. Probably because he was too busy silently hating his life to really pay attention to anything. It wasn't until he saw the pale boy sprawled out on the ground, staring up at the sky that he realized where he was. 

He froze, unsure what to do and half expecting one of its parents to come charging out of the den at him. When no one came, his eyes darted around a few times, and then he slowly took a few steps back. Maybe he could sneak away before the kid saw him.
