Redhawk Caldera pumpkin patch party — packtivity

While the Alpha female continued to make her rounds, Peregrine preferred to observe more than interact for the moment. His lips twitched and he shook his head when Ashton thrust his head inside one of the pumpkins and began running around (and into his pack mates). It made the Alpha male miss Finley all over again.

He belatedly realized there was another missing from the impromptu party: Siv. The Alpha male ran his tongue over his lips. Fox's lookalike surely would have enjoyed this little get-together, so where was she? Should he call for her? Go look for her? Peregrine's brow furrowed.

He considered consulting with Fox, yet she was busy talking to their loyalest member (aside from Finley), so he let it go for the moment. Ashton and Somnia were talking as well and Elwood and Amon appeared to be deliberating over their samples of pumpkin. Peregrine cracked a smile at the former's declaration before honing in on a pumpkin of his own.

Peregrine dropped to his haunches, the pumpkin placed neatly between his big black forepaws. After scanning the assembled wolves a moment, he bent down and made to take a huge bite out of the great orange fruit. The tough peel thwarted him; his fangs became stuck and he had to use both paws to pull the pumpkin from his own mouth. Chortling under his breath, he bit at it again in nearly the same spot, this time puncturing through the shell and releasing the sweet fragrance of the pumpkin's sticky innards.

Rather than eat them, however, the Alpha dug his paw into the misshapen hole and scooped out a stringy, gooey clump of pulp, which he promptly chucked in his wife's direction.
