The tribe's territory was well-marked and known...easily discernable markers warned away intruders, but he had waltzed in like a chieftain. Plus, he didn't like the way he looked at Abrianna. There was something about him that wasn't completely honest, and when he invited her to come along, he knew it was a bad idea. But her stubborness knew no bounds, and like it or not, she would follow the mysterious wolf.<br/><br/>"Come then, Abrianna," Askuwheteau said after thanking the elder. "We need to prepare," he added. He knew they'd need to arm themselves, and made a mental note to take his bow and spear along with his knife.
