Wildcat's Hunger

When Wildcat saw Mourning Dove for the first time, he knew she was the woman he wanted as his wife. The fact that she had a son and a daughter were only an added bonus, as Wildcat had always adored children. Mourning Dove did not think her past would allow someone like Wildcat to love her. Her rejection only sent him to the village that banished her seven winters earlier in search of the truth. Within the village of Mourning Dove's birth, Wildcat suffers a life threatening injury as he searches for the reason for her rejection. Even though Mourning Dove knows she is putting her own life in jeopardy, she rushes to Wildcat's side to nurse him back to health. As she does, she is forced to reveal the truth about her first husband's banishment. In doing so, she changes the entire make up of the village of her birth.
