Wolf Shadow’s Promise
Wolf Shadow’s Promise
“He crouched down beside her, where she squatted over his pet, and extended his hand to stroke the wolf.
“Yes,” she responded, watching that hand and his long fingers in fascination, “the bullet didn’t hit any of his vital organs. See?” She bent over and pulled away the bandage she had set to the animal’s wound, pointing to where the bullet had grazed its chest.
Moon Wolf drew in his breath, the sound of it resembling a hiss. He asked, “Will he live?”
“I’m fairly certain of it. There’s a lot of blood, but I believe it’s only a surface wound. I will go home shortly and get the herbs we will need to heal it. But if I am right, your wolf should be up and about again in a few weeks.” With a jerk, she raised her head and sniffed the air around her, asking after a few moments, “Moon Wolf, have you been drinking?”
He didn’t answer, merely stared back at her until at last he stood. Grabbing the lantern, which he had set off to the side, he signaled her to stand, too, and follow him.
