Redhawk Caldera the girl that time forgot

Jaws had not seen Finley since the pack meeting, and had only met her one-on-one the time she decided to haze him and order him around like a mindless peon. At first, he was rather irritated by her barging in and stealing his time away, bending him to her will as a Beta, but as their meet went on found that she was as full of jest as he, and the two had gotten along almost like old chums. Her and Elwood were largely running the pack while Fox and Peregrine were tending to their pups, so when he spotted the characteristic black stripe off in the distance he headed that way, intending to ask her if she knew of anything else that needed to be done - the border markers had been refreshed, there were no intruders, and the caches were being kept well stocked.

It did not occur to him at the time that the stripe was attached to a figure decidedly much lighter in color than Finley's, and with the breeze blowing away from him he was not immediately alerted to a difference in smell. But as the coywolf drew near, recognition began to dawn in the back of his skull. He knew this dorsal marking, but it was not his Beta's - it was a marking he had looked down on one morning while having a really good time in the forest. He did not know her name, but now suspected she was related to his packmate and leader, by suggestion of their identical markings.

Jaws announced his presence with a demanding woof. He had enjoyed this female's company before and would like to enjoy it again, but he had no knowledge of whether she had been accepted into the pack or not and so treated her like a trespasser (though he doubted she was).
