“Colton…. If you can hear me…. You have more than me to fight for now, don’t give up. We’re working on it. I love you and I miss you.” its loud enough that my voice travels on the wind and yet quiet enough and directed away from the house to not echo around the drive. Only Carmen will have caught it and she remains silent and at a distance, giving me some space and showing respect.
The fog twirls and moves in the wind and for a second I catch a glimpse of a lone dark figure directly in front, separated by the twenty feet or so of wood and he’s staring right at me. Full on wolf form, black, devastating in size, claws extended in readiness, and glistening in the moon light. He’s a sight to behold on any given day, but like this, how he is just shreds my emotions into frenzied pain and aches heavily in my chest. His eyes are still empty darkness, and his growling snarl is unmistakable to my ears. I would know Colton anywhere, no matter the distance.
