Thin Ice -||- [Akelsa]

Akela had heard about the ice witch from the vampire. It only made sense the two knew each other. Despite his inherent dislike of the vampire, she was smart and she knew that there was safety in numbers. Without a coven, she felt just as lost as Akela did without most of his pack. She sought others of power, just like he did, in order to form alliances, in order to protect his family.
That was the only thing that was important to him these days, especially with Raksha’s baby less than a moon away.
He was glad he had come home to his pack right on time, the thought of the little baby without his protection made his stomach twist in all kinds of knots. His dreams had been filled with poor little Rahil and Neerav and Maahir, Aanya and Prisha and Ahsan. All the young pups who had perished because he couldn’t protect them.
Never again.
Which was why he approached the ice witch’s door on a brisk fall evening. He had been hovering around her little ice cream shoppe as inconspicuously as possible, trying to determine anything about her, but there was little to learn.
So, he needed to approach her. Knocking on the door of her house, he stood back and tucked his hands behind him, drawing himself up to his full height.
