At Leisure Lake the sun is always shining and only a few stray clouds roam the open sky; paradise is the one word that really describes it. This beautiful lake is clean and refreshing, the very best place to swim and fish. Pups are known to play here while older wolves watch at the side, engaged in their own activities.

I race away from Saw Tooth, grief hitting me again like a sack of rocks. It seems like every time Lucas comes back, only to leave again. I feel so incomplete without him and yet I can't help but think that this is my fault somehow. I must be cursed or something. Everyone always leaves me. Am I unworthy of love? First Faol'an with his charming ways and his gentle voice who stole my heart, gave me children, and then left with one of them only to show up years later with a daughter who no longer knows me. And he expected me to have sat here pining for him. Well I had a pack to run and I told myself that I deserved happiness. And so I met Lucas and gave my heart away again. Yes, it hurt to see Faol'an again and know that he didn't leave for good, that he'd meant to come back for me. But it was too little too late. And now Lucas is gone. What do I do? I can't just keep going on like this. Maybe I've always been meant to rule alone. Or maybe just never to rule. Maybe I'm incapable or something. I try to tell myself different as I race toward the lake, already able to smell the healing waters. I just wanted to get out of Saw Tooth, clear my head and get away from the cozy places once reeking with family that now feel so desolute and lonely. Markus is growing up so fast, trying to be there for me the way his father should be. But I want him to be a puppy for as long as he can before he has to face the cruel world. I haven't seen Fayette since her father left, nor the brother he brought back with him. I haven't seen Balder since before that. My family leaves me. My mates leave me. And my most trusted pack members. I make it to the lake and stop to drink at the shore. When I look up, I see an eerily familiar face maybe ten feet away from me, staring into the water as if mesmerized. Curious, I prick my ears and start toward her slowly, tasting her scent. She smells very familiar as if I know her but her scent is tainted with Bright Moon, a neighboring pack. Perhaps I met her in open lands before? But when I get a good look at her face, I stop short, eyes widening in shock and surprise. Kagura. M dear Kagura, once a ranked wolf in Saw Tooth, one of my closest friends. I can still remember the day she came racing into Saw Tooth with a band of rogues behind her and then turned around to protect me even though she didn't even know who I was. I smile at the memory. I open my mouth to say hi to her, able to forget that she left the pack and joined another if only I can see that she's alright. But then I notice that her face looks troubled and then she whispers something to her reflection and I can just make out the words. As if in answer, I come a step closer and say softly. Kagura...I never thought I'd see you again. |
