(thanks, glad to be back, and here. i like to give my characters a bit of a back story, but this is the most thought ive put into one so far. let me know what you think)<br/><br/>shawn had wandered into their territory, about ready to pass out from exhaustion. his entire pack had been wiped out by a rival pack of raptors that wanted to take their territory, they were bigger, stronger, and vastly outnumbered them, so they didnt stand a chance. but his mate had sacrificed herself so he could escape. the physical wounds would heal if he could find help in time, but the emotional scars would never go away. part of him wished he had died fighting alongside his beloved.<br/><br/>he spotted them and limped towards them. he figured theyd either help him or kill him for trespassing on their territory. either way, he was ready to accept his fate. he started to say something as he got closer, but he collapsed on the ground.
