Moonsong Glacier [m] going toe to toe with an enchantress

But you just said you left one day, Aventus retorted, with intrigue in his eyes now as he pulled back from the stone wall and Val alike. Could it be a coincidence that Val's excuse for leaving home was a bear, told to a bear-wolf, a short trot from the bear's hearth? He had questions, but they would have to wait, because Val just admitted he was one of the Saints.

Aventus pulled his lips back into a grim grin, teeth glinting just like the iron veins in the moonlight. That depends, he said. Are you one of them? Do you think it's funny to attack kids and helpless sick wolves? Does it make your cock hard to tear someone else's family apart? That was a little extreme, and when it came out of his mouth, Aventus could not understand why he would say something like that. Why was his mind always in the gutter lately?

There's something wrong with you, he thought to himself. Now wasn't the time to try to figure that out. He backed up further, willing his fur to lay flat. Val hadn't done anything to him. Unless he admitted he was looking for Nyra to rejoin her, Aventus had no reason to be so aggressive. He didn't apologize. Didn't really know how, to be honest.

We are Ursus. We follow the bear's will. Nyra is our enemy. His eyes quietly asked Val if he was, too.
