Thyrious shifted and dressed, then knelt beside La Rue and pulled her into his arms. She fought, still barking and growling at the dead male, but in the end, she howled her sorrow to the sky and the rising moon. "He's with Zenesha now," Thyrious whispered in her ear. "They are together. Now, they are in peace."
She howled some more, and he wasn't sure if she had heard. Sven and Zenesha had helped her, saved her life when they could have left her out to freeze.
"Who's there!"
Both Thyrious and La Rue jumped at the voice and looked around.
"Who are you?" the male demanded.
La Rue immediately perked up. She escaped Thyrious's arms and limped over to the male who had a knife raised in self defense.
"Don't come closer!" he warned.
La Rue whined now, and laid on her belly. "La Rue, come back!" Thyrious said, wanting her close in case the male tried to attack.
