For probably the thousandth time, big and small, I cursed Helene's ignorance. What good was knowing such things like scent blockers existed if she had no idea how much they cost or where to get them?
Not that it would do me good now, with my pursuer already locked onto my trail. But if I'd acquired them beforehand…
> Stupid stupid stupid! Why didn't you just ask at the clinic and see if that was an option for wolves in my situation? <
I made a mental note to investigate them further if I managed to shake this 'tail'. Sooner than waiting for that next check up!
Hoping to lose them in the maze of back streets, I ducked into an alley I'd been in before. But the more I moved, the more I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being herded somewhere.
> What if I could use my pursuer's persistent tactics against them? Would you be with me for it, Vrika? <
I scanned my surroundings even as I felt the reluctant, rumbling whine. Looking for a spot where I could 'turn the tables'.
