She offered the name of her son, and if it surprised Nios, he did not reveal it -- it held a certain charm to it.. a uniqueness that he imagined also belonged to the she-wolf before him. She was an attractive wolf -- obviously this was not lost upon the Tainn, given his age and the pulling need to settle down and take claim of a mate and land of his own.

I came back to make amends with my brother." It had been childish -- and he had lost years from his best friend.

"Walk with me?" The invitation was a light one, and with a nod forward, the swarthy wolf would try to coax her along, hoping to get to know her better during the brief time they talked.
