Chapter Text
Prologue
By the time I turned two and ten I had already said goodbye to most of my close kin, one of them being my mother. Even though we had never truly gotten along her death hurt nonetheless; for in her last seconds of life, while her blood began to seep into her coat, her skin hanging by a thread, in her eyes I had seen warmth.
As if using her remaining energy mother lifted her blood soaked hand and cradled my cheek. I held her hand against my cheek even when her eyes lost focus and her body began to loose heat. I had time, after all I had slain the blasted beast that had ended my mothers life.
A howl pierced though the night, glowing eyes watched me from afar. A sibling? Or perhaps it’s mate. No matter I knew it would not dare to close the distance for the sun had already begun to peak over the mountains. Its time for now had ended. It looked at me and then it’s fallen partner, it had remained in wolf form even in death. The runes i had carved into it’s fur had worked.
