Dragoncrest Cliffs The ribbons and the wrappings

"The tree I told you about, near the edge of the woods," Wildfire replied, sure she had brought it up but suddenly second-guessing herself. It didn't really matter, though. "I can show you," she added breezily, then pressed her lips together as the commander expressed her wish for the Bandrona to give birth in their private corner of the beach.

She felt a little prickly but a quick, deep breath smoothed down her proverbial hackles. "Let me show you the tree. I know the spot you're talking about but I think I'd be more comfortable in the spot I've chosen. That said," Wildfire rushed to add, "I'll take everything into consideration. I just want what's safest and most comfortable for me and the pups."

The red she-wolf reached out to fondly muss the velveteen fur behind the Heda's ear, then said, "C'mon, I'll show you, then I'll catch you something fresh for breakfast." With a flash of a smile, Wildfire began to trot off in the direction of the redwoods.
