His mane and coat matted from what seems like years of neglect. Scars create a patchwork on his skin, like a quilt made of the battles and tortures he's endured. The fur on his paws, once white, now stained red from blood. His feet burn from trudging on endlessly. His legs and shoulders ache from carrying the burden of life. The ever growing malaise poisons his mind and haunts his dreams. 

Memories of the times he felt part of a pack. Alpha and Omega mean nothing to him anymore. He distracts himself daily by training and honing his skills. His cave, dimly lit by one large opening seemingly facing the rest of the world. Having only the bare essentials and a few treasures he's obtained though his journey so far. Sitting in his cave peering out, constantly wondering and dreaming. Adopting a mouse in hopes to develop a symbiotic relationship of sorts.

Some days better than others. One step at a time, he reminds himself. He grows tired.

Perhaps one day he will overcome this inner turmoil for good. 

But for now, "One step at a time" he repeats. 

Stopping isn't an option.
