Redhawk Caldera Houston, we have a problem

Things escalated quickly. Peregrine wasted no time in forcing Reek to the ground with his teeth, slicing his muzzle and leaving open wounds. Simultaneously, Wildfire slipped out from under Elwood, maneuvering between his back legs and receding a few steps further. He turned back to look at her and spotted Tiger approaching; when his sister-in-law made to comfort the pup, Elwood pivoted and closed the distance between himself and the wrestling wolves.

Luckily, it looked as though Reek had simply given up; in Elwood's opinion, that was the smartest move he could have made. Incensing an Alpha on said Alpha's home turf was bad enough. Engaging in combat with Peregrine would have only ended poorly for Reek. Since it didn't look like the skirmish was going to go any further, the silver Beta simply stood behind and to the left of Peregrine, his ears pressed forward and his tail lifted -- though not as high as Peregrine's would be -- and glared down at Reek.
