Ravensblood Forest and iron filling her lungs

As they reach the water the female beside him is positively seething. He stays silent, allowing her to vent to him. Little does she know he completely relates. A life of being a leader, being at the top, and then for it to suddenly crash down on top of you. Though the fam of his reign is more emotional then hers it seems. His whole pack was slaughtered, while what happened to her is custom where she comes from. Anyhow, he shakes his head as she speaks to him, agreeing with her words. 

When she lies down enough to get water onto the wound he cranes his head down and noses the water onto it. His ears tilted towards her continuously listening. Golden eyes shift to gaze at her as she asks the one hundred dollar question. He lists his head and chuckles bitterly.

“It’s a long story.” He hums. “So long story short, someone betrayed our pack. Blew the whistle on us and I got to watch my whole pack get slaughtered by humans.” He continues gazing down to her. “I lead that pack for a good amount of time. Inherited it from my father.”
