We were no longer becoming something.
We were already there.

My family doesn't stink.

Can Bouda hear me?
She nodded.
Holy shit.
My mind raced. This was good. I could always feel her and hear her. I wouldn't need the tracker in her.
What tracker?
I slipped my hand out of hers and walked to her family.
What fucking tracker?
Her shrill voice echoed in my mind.
Fenrir? Can I block this?
I doubt it, he chuckled,not without practice.
Fuck.
