Chapter 59: Hunter and Hunted
A girl huddled against a tree, surrounded by snarling wolves. Sesshoume unleashed the full force of her youki, scattering the pack as she landed in their midst.
Panicked yips faded into the forest.
Something caught her sleeve. Turning, Sesshoume met wide, wet eyes.
One small hand rubbed Sesshoume’s cheek, as if to wipe away her stripes.
She touched the girl’s cheek in return, brushing at a smudge that turned out to be a bruise.
And so she claimed her pathetic prize.
Silence met silence as Sesshoume considered the mute human whose tousled head leaned trustingly against her shoulder.
“Hnn. Come.”
