Redhawk Caldera Come drink the blood of apples

*randomly decides there's an apple tree here*

Not mandatory and not even really a solid PA but... come eat apples with your Alpha to celebrate our second anniversary. :)

They had officially lived here at the caldera for two years (nearly to the day) and yet Peregrine had never noticed the apple tree before. It was close to the borders overlooking the supposedly haunted forest to the south. It stood alone. The Alpha stood there staring at it, wondering if it had sprouted overnight somehow. His half-blind jade gaze then dropped to the dozens of apples scattered below it.

Peregrine moved closer, scenting at the nearest one. It smelled sweet but rotten. He turned it with his nose and discovered a mushy, wormy brown spot on its underside. He snorted and moved to another. This one was split open, its browning innards crawling with ants. The third one appeared to be a more recent drop. It was bruised but still shiny and whole. The black wolf sniffed at it, then closed his teeth around it and sank them into the flesh. Sweet juices filled his mouth, accompanied by a loud and delicious crunch!

It was awkward to chew it, since his teeth were made to slice and dice meat. But somehow he managed and swallowed a mouthful of tangy applesauce. "Damn," he murmured to himself, "that was fucking delicious." Peregrine promptly devoured the rest of the apple, stem and core included, and then two more before it occurred to him that he should share his discovery. With the blood of apples on his breath, he summoned anyone in the pack who wanted a delicious fall treat.
