Ander - Chapter 5, Subchapter 22
22 A huge circle was drawn in the dirt, right in the village centre, easily two dozen strides from one end to the other. Wolves crowded around the line, and those that couldn't get close enough for a good view clambered up the watchtowers and lined...

21 It all clicked into place just then, and Hezzi rounded on Wardo, more angry than he'd been in months. "You filthy coward!" Wardo looked left and right, a comically fake expression of confusion plastered all over his smug face. "Who? Me?" "Yes,...
Ander - Chapter 5, Subchapter 20
20 The reaction was immediate. Over a thousand Wolves threw their hands in the air and shouted: "WHOOOOOOOAAAHH!!" The din was so loud Hezzi couldn't even hear Mother shouting at him. She was pointing at him, her jaws opening and closing so fast it...
Ander - Chapter 5, Subchapter 19
19 The entire tribe was gathered in the centre of the village, beneath the shadow of the Cora statue. Even Danado was there, wearing thick leather gloves and footwraps, but he still needed his sister to support him. Hezzi couldn't even imagine what...
Ander - Chapter 5, Subchapter 18
18 "I think Nilia might be a little bit crazy, but in a good way," Hezzi said to the mountain, so far away he knew his voice could never reach it from here, but it wasn't really the mountain he was talking to anyway. "She makes me train with her every...

17 "So, how did it go?" Nilia asked, punching a training post hard enough to make the top vibrate. It was a bit scary to watch, actually, since Hezzi couldn't stop imagining that post as his own head. Not that Nilia would ever ever hurt him, of...
Ander - Chapter 6, Subchapter 53
To the sky and he was just laughing and laughing, laughing so hard there were tears streaming from his one remaining eye, and as he laughed, the first snowflakes of the day started to drift down from the heavens, landing upon his pitch black fur in stark contrast
Ander - Chapter 6, Subchapter 52
52 Shekka had been caught in a paralytic trance this whole time, shocked by what her ears were telling her. She had heard the exchange between Banno and Wardo, had heard the wet rip of meat and the crunch of bone. She had listened as Wardo's words...
Ander - Chapter 6, Subchapter 51
51 Are you real? Dorin was positive that was what Banno had said, but he couldn't understand what he meant by that. All he knew for certain was that he had to move, and he had to do it right now. That thing (it may look like a Wolf, but it was no more...
Ander - Chapter 6, Subchapter 50
50 The meat exploded into a chaotic frenzy of noise. Truth be told, Banno had almost forgotten they were there, but now they were screaming for blood. "The Foxes did this!?" "Unacceptable!" "It's just like Shekka-Kai said! It's a curse! A...
Ander - Chapter 6, Subchapter 49
49 The darkness crowded all around her. It wasn't just an absence of light anymore. It was a physical thing, with weight and substance, comprised of hundreds of bodies. They pushed her, jostled her, tried to force her back. "Get out of my way!" she...
Ander - Chapter 6, Subchapter 48
48 Dull pain, deep inside his head, throbbing behind his empty eye socket. It was always there, never waning, just like his anger. It boiled inside him, red hot and smoking, as he stepped through the shattered gates. _There were too many simply too...
