Izah ran and ran, only retraining his speed enough to not make so much noise. It was difficult, but he knew if he grew careless now it'd be over. As he ran, Izah strained his hearing behind him, expecting to see the anger-filled eyes of the alpha close behind and the sound of heavy paw prints. Neither came.
After awhile, the silver-male finally slowed up. Blood pumping, his tongue lolled out as he panted for breath, his eyes darting everywhere. There was no sign of another creature, dusk was casting its shadow upon the trees and sending the world into sleep. But Izah wanted to move on, to get as far away from there as possible, but his legs protested. He needed rest, just enough to catch his breath, then he'll move on again.
I hope she got away, the male wondered, he wanted to make sure she did, but if he veered away from his path now, he'll get caught. Lowering onto his haunches, Izah forced himself to take deep, even breaths. He pushed all thoughts of the female aside, for the idea that she didn't and was still in their grasp sent shivers through him along with guilt.
