the snow."
"Yeah the snow will be gone by tomorrow night." He pushed himself up and then helped me up. "Good God my feet are cold!" He looked at the wolves. "Thank you for your help!"
The big one, the one that spoke to me, loped up to us and faced me. We don't think she will be back. Call us when you have need of us, Winter Wiccé, and we will be there.
On cue they all turned and trotted back into the forest.
"I didn't call them."
"Doesn't matter. They're drawn to your power and they'll be there to protect you when you need them, just like all witches. And Nature can't do a thing about them." But he was already trudging through the snow in the direction of the cabin. I caught up with him and took his hand. "Is Crow here?"
"Yeah. Oh, he got hit in the head."
"Eh, he'll be okay. I bet he looks the same too. Hasn't aged a day. Bastard and his Cherokee blood." He squeezed my hand as we moved through the snow covered forest. "You think you mom will take me back?"
I returned his smile and nodded. "Neither of us ever let you go, dad."

anthology : a collection of selected literary pieces
uncollected : not collected or gathered together
oxymoron : a combination of words that have opposite or very different meanings
The Uncollected Anthology series is indeed an oxymoron. Sprung from the minds of six fabulous authors who love fantasy, short stories, and each other's writing, the series' main goal is to bring you quality urban fantasy fiction.
