Redhawk Caldera something wicked

It was only the night before that Peregrine had accepted Elwood into the pack. The alpha had taken a few moments to tell the newest pack member about the other wolves that he would be residing with, including his mate and co-alpha, Fox. Elwood had listened intently, making mental notes and soaking up the information like a sponge. He was excited to start this new chapter in his life, not to mention nervous.

He had spent the first night at the base of a tree on the lower slope of the caldera. However, he only managed a few hours of sleep and was up at the break of dawn. He began familiarizing himself with his new home, taking it all in with his ears, eyes, and nose.

Already, the day was coming to a close as night settled over the dormant volcano. Elwood was making his way back to "his" tree when the sound of a scuffle drew him away. He followed the noise and soon encountered a dangerous sight: a cougar was attacking a small, fiery female. Elwood's heart leapt into his throat, but he didn't allow himself time to second guess his actions; instead, he flung himself into the fray, alongside a second wolf. He did not recognize either of them, but that didn't matter. He managed to land a hefty paw square on the big cat's snout, deterring it from its attack for just a second.
