-------------------------------------------------------------

I rolled over in my bed, sunlight peeking through the cracks of the curtains on the lone window of my bedroom in my rented apartment. I rubbed my eyes, yawning and stretching readying myself for yet another day.

"You know what today is?" Sid asked.

"Yes, I know what today is. I would like to forget. " I responded with a tone of annoyance. I did not need any help from her about remembering what today was.

One year, I had been gone from Silver Moon for a year. I hadn't gone back, not even close, leaving the wounds from my last encounter with Abel to fester. The more I thought about it and rehashed the conversation the more it left me feeling empty. I knew he was no closer to forgiving me than I was to forgiving him, that is why I kept my pack link securely closed, no one got through the barrier. I knew that if I let one in that it would weaken my hold on the barrier making it easier for anyone to get through.

Every time I called to check in with my dad or brother, they would try to encourage me to reach out to Abel and reconcile. I will be honest there were a few times that I thought about it, that I almost called him, almost mind linked him, but each time I stopped myself. I was not ready to open that wound and honestly, I was not sure how ready he was either. Besides, this entire thing was his doing, he attacked me, not the other way around. Why should I be the one to extend the olive branch?

Pulling myself from my bed, I groaned a bit not quite ready for the day to start I had been out late the night before at work and then afterwards I went hunting. There had been some news of rogue activity along the Haven Woods Pack borders that I wanted to check out. However, I had not found exactly what I had been hunting for, but had managed to get a bit more information.

"You are in a rather delightful mood this afternoon?" She snarked back to me.

Rolling my eyes, knowing she could tell I was doing so with our shared consciousness, I responded "I am in a very good mood. I found Frankie, why would I not be in a good mood? "

Sid could never just let me have a win, "You did not find him, he showed up here by chance."

I growled at her, "Why can't you ever just let me have a win."

"We have been here for a couple months; we have not been hunting, only patrolling close by. Remember you wanted to 'have fun'? "

"Do not act like you have not been enjoying everything. And you are right I do not want to hunt to far from here, you know how close we are. " A warning tone to my words.

"I know. That is why we are being careful; I do not want to chance running into Jared. " The snark and lightness we had was quickly nipped out by that comment, forcing my thoughts back to Frankie so I would not have to think about Jared.

Frankie was a rogue that I had been tracking for months now, but the trail went cold a couple months back. He must have known I was looking for him, because all hints and clues suddenly disappeared. Frankie was a smooth talker among other things. One of his best talents was his ability to command a room getting people to blindly follow him.

Flashback

I had been running for a couple of days now and was about thirty miles outside the nearest pack and figured that I was in a good place to stay for a few days. There was a town just a couple miles from where I currently was. It would be nice to be able to find a place to stay for a night or two and get a hot shower, and maybe find a bar, have a bit of fun.
