A Mother's Promise [Bane/Any]

[Wolfbane]

ALL THE DOUBT YOU'RE STANDING IN BETWEEN

Lately, Wolfbane had been more alert than he usually was. He’d split his time between trying to learn the trails through here and spending time with his partial family, which he did a good job at, but there were always the small things distracting him. He’d hear the faint click of a rustling twig in one direction and go to look, then smell something unfamiliar and turn around again.

Mary’s parting words had kept him on a thin edge.

Make sure he gets out alive, she’d said, right before he decided to tell her where he’d be if she needed him.

Taiga.

And so ever since the news of Castile’s victory he’d been distracted by watching and waiting for the boy.

When Wolfbane heard the soft scuffle of unfamiliar paws over the misty soil, he went immediately to intercept it. The stallion slunk through the wide roots like a burglar, thinking the entire time about how Mary hadn’t exactly specified which son she’d be sending. She has more than one child, right?” He thought. His body curved like quicksilver around each bend.

Then he stopped. Just became still like a blurry picture coming into focus. There was the slinking wolf, wearing the old house colors of Mary and Sinner on his second skin. Gunmetal gray slashed through with a bloody red.

“I still smell your mother on you.” He called out calmly to the boy. He knew without a single doubt this was the colt Mary had meant. “Is she… alive?” Bane asked crisply.

WITH WOUNDS THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS SEEN
