Really got complicated when...
Marissa didn't speak, not even once. She understood that she wasn't meant to be wary of the white wolf just yet, but where they supposed to just wait until he decides to methodically kill them all in their sleep when something just didn't go their way? Was this really safer than being alone?
Either way, the arrangements were temporary, and should only last for the winter. They could last a couple of months together... right?
But it was when that wolf Bloody (surely, that had to be a sobriquet?) Offered his help that Marissa got angry. What, did he think of himself as a charity case, and the two females as irrelevant? She growled loudly and abruptly, before turning round and sulking away.
Her mind wondered back to the golden wolf she left behind... and wondered if he was doing okay. Whether he himself had been encountered by crazy wolves in her absence. Then Marissa realised that out of anger, Marissa had left Aurora alone with a pup to protect among two other males. Yeap. Smart.
She came back at a brisk trot, noticing that the crazy white wolf had gone, and now they were left with the grey one, that Marissa hadn't quite formed an opinion of yet. They seemed to be getting along okay, was the situation civil?
"Aurora! I don't think I've mentioned this before... but my name is Marissa." She slowed down her pace as she walked up to the remaining male, feeling a lot more confident now that Bloody was gone. "Hello there... who are you, and where might we be going?"
