'Never. I will kill you before you mark her,' Tubal raged in my mind, but I couldn't let him control me.
'She saved us before, Tubal. Don't be mean,' I tried to coax him, but he was adamant. 'She saved you, not me. You were twelve by then, but I wasn't with you then.'
Indeed, I had my first shift at twelve, but that was after the red-haired girl saved me. Her mother didn't give us a name, or maybe I could take Kari to visit her.
"Kari, why don't we go visit your mother?" I asked her. Her expression changed for a moment before a smile replaced it. "Zach, I told you my mom died, and my dad has been sick. Right now, I don't even know where he is," she responded sorrowfully. I felt saddened.
The people who could clear this misunderstanding were missing in action, and there is no other red-haired she-wolf as far as I knew.
