His mother stopped him, to ask that he fetch a leader to accept Kajika. His muscles locked and his eyes lost focus with the amount of emotional unrest he felt inside. Not a single word was uttered to address what the man had done wrong, to express that she had been hurt too, or to even speak up for Chan.
Was he overreacting? Was it supposed to be okay for the man who had made him feel like shit for wanting to live his life,
specifically about leaving his mother had just disappeared from their lives, letting them all believe he was dead for no good reason?
He would do as she asked, considering all the while pointedly
not. After all, they surely had heard the howl and would get to him in their own time. Still, he passed @
Nash and gave a terse
"Kajika is waiting for you," before slipping away somewhere outside of the pack's territory so that he could be alone with his hurt.
