The Dark Side of Fate

The men dragged me all the way. My heart broke to see wounded and dead wolves on the ground.

“Are you out of your mind?” she asked, and I frowned.

“How can you make that sacrifice? You are a good warrior; you two would have stood a chance together,” she said, and tears welled in my eyes, remembering the real reason I
