The packs couldn’t care less for rogues, which only made us more nervous. They didn’t care but had tightened patrols; it was no good for anyone in the city if they could get in. Another thing I thought odd was the reports of forsaken wolves going missing. Some that stuck close to the city borders and turned feral had suddenly vanished.

Those that kept monitoring them hadn’t seen them, and one thing this city was good at was talking. Rumor spread, yet the missing forsaken wolves are never mentioned in the news.
