much”

“That wasn’t even the thing that bothered me though. When I came I didn’t come to trade him. Up until a few moments before I did, I only came to bring him back here”

Tempest opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out.

            “What made you finally trade him?” Tempest finally asked.

“The pups… and my pups…”

Tempest smiled.

            “Oh yeah… Fly’s pregnant”

“You knew-?!...never mind”

They watched the sky for a few more moments.

            “Goodnight” Tempest finally said. “And thanks again”

Everest smiled and nodded, but didn’t follow Tempest. He stayed looking at the sky.

“You’d be mad at me” Everest said softly. “I am… either because I’m weak enough that I lost control… or because I didn’t have enough strength to finish him off”

With a final sigh, Everest turned around and headed back to the den, head low and tail trailing.

            Hiatus glanced up at the same sky Everest had just turned away from. When the moon had reached the middle of the sky, Hiatus nodded. Two of the fastest Ublureak wolves that had been waiting, shot off in two different directions as fast as they could. Hiatus watched them leave and chuckled to himself.

“I’ll see you soon enough, brother and sister…”
