Redhawk Caldera Ayo

Peregrine found himself facing north. His body was firmly planted on one of the caldera's outcroppings, yet his mind and heart were several miles away, on the plateau to be specific. He wondered how Osprey was doing this morning... and what would become of her and her pups. He shifted restlessly, wishing he could be by her side but knowing that he was where he belonged. His mate and pups needed him more than Osprey did. She was a big girl. Still...

He rose, padding down the mountainside to start a patrol. He tried to clear his mind or at least focus on something else. A certain pale face drifted across his mind's eye and Peregrine decided to focus on that. Maybe Luke would drop by sometime soon, maybe even today. His blue schnoz would be a sight for sore eyes and a very welcome distraction. Besides, the swarthy Alpha wanted to apologize again for cutting their time so short last time and leaving so abruptly.

But whether it was Luke or one of his many well-liked pack mates that arrived, he just wanted to see someone so he could stop obsessing over the fate of his sister, nieces and nephews.
