Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in a certain boy’s adventures because the Amaranthine Saga & Songs are mine. Please continue to indulge the lot of us, especially the one not wearing shoes.

Not Even a Little Bit

Coop sloshed onto the bank, his feet chilled from standing in the creek. He wanted Torloo’s uncle to read his posture. “It’s okay,” he repeated. “I’m not even a little bit scared.”

Boon jerked a thumb Coop’s way. “Wolf-fostered. He’s the one who saved your furry butts. Knew to howl for backup.”

A pure white wolf clansman with copper eyes padded forward—tail high, ears pricked, gaze hopeful—offering furred hands with bare palms.

Figuring it’d be simpler, Coop stepped between them, straight into a warm embrace.

Uncle Moon chuckled. “Not scared, not shy.”  

“Nope,” Coop agreed. “Hey, nice shirt.”
