Redhawk Caldera sometimes following your heart means losing your head

Hope my post is okay; if not, PM me! :)

Knowing that Peter was missing, Elwood had been spending more time tracing the borders. He was aware that Fox had sent a few of the subordinates out to search, so there was no need for him to leave the packlands. But his nose stayed close to the ground, sifting through scents as he looked for any sign that Peter had passed by.

He looked up from his patrol to see Eljay, and when his gaze settled on the form of an unfamiliar wolf lingering close to the yearling, his hackles bristled protectively. He strode towards the pair, yellow eyes narrowing as he took in the situation. It was clear that Eljay was upset, and the she-wolf was much too close for comfort.

Eljay cried out as he drew nearer. Elwood couldn't quite make out what he was hiding, so he turned his attention to the female with a deep growl. She had a few seconds to clear out, or he would force her away with his teeth and claws.
