Redhawk Caldera pupsicles

"We'll definitely need all hands on deck," Raven agreed. She was mildly worried about allowing those she didn't know well near the pups, yet she didn't mention it. If the Alphas trusted them, she would follow suit. Besides, they genuinely needed everyone to pitch in and help. Not only would they need extra mouths to tote the puppies, they also needed the added warmth. That was what this was all about, after all: coming together to survive this horrible cold snap. There would be no strangers in the ranks after this.

Knowing her godparents would take care of summoning the rest of the pack, Raven began mentally preparing for the logistics of transporting the two-week-old pups. She supposed that once everyone arrived, they could match up adults and babies. They would have to stick close together while simultaneously moving as quickly as possible from the den to the cave. They wanted to limit the infants' exposure to the elements as much as possible.

"We've got this," she said quietly, peering at the six youngsters but mostly talking to herself and her Alphas.
