Haunted Wood It’s nothing but a bad bad dream

The months of cruelty had done much for his growth, he had grown tall and though he wasn't ripped yet his muscles were toned and lean beneath his pelt. For a yearling he was a big boy and it only helped him approach Serem in that moment with more confidence. The scent of the pups pulled him forward and he called to her before he arrived respectful enough to announce himself before appearing in the mouth of her den. "Serem...do you have a moment to talk about something important?" he eyed the children as they all perked at his presence and tensed, praying they wouldn't all come at him as the one boy pup had that day.
