Moon Echo Omega The Pup They Tried to Bury

I brought my five-moon-old pup back to my birth den, but the cub from the neighboring territory seized a moment when my guard was down.

He carried my son away and abandoned him inside the old cold-iron ice locker at my family's border-trade post.

I searched like a wolf gone feral through the entire night, until some dark instinct finally drew my gaze toward that locker.

When I pulled it open, my son's frozen body made me shatter completely.

I ran desperately to the pack healers, but they declared him gone the moment they laid eyes on him.
