Hidden Spirit

James looked down at him. “Show me the tooth.”


Morgan wasn’t surprised James would know he had received the token. He took the tooth out of his pocket and showed it to James. James took it and pulled his wolf tooth necklace out from under his shirt and held the two tokens together. He looked at Morgan and smiled. “I’ve worn this for a long time. I always hoped that one day its mate would arrive. Now it has.” He stopped walking and took Morgan in his arms once more. They kissed. “My dad made a leather thong like mine for your token,” he said, and pulled it from his pocket, handing it to Morgan.


“I guess I shouldn’t ask how he’d know I’d receive a token. He always seems to know.”


“He does,” James said, smiling. “He’ll put the tooth on the thong when we get back to Agawa.”
