Redhawk Caldera Houston, we have a problem

Unlike her father, Wildfire did see Reek's reaction to the thrown duck. She heard his shouted message too. Her lips pursed. She didn't like the way he'd spoken to Peregrine, yet he had rushed to her aid when no one else had. Wildfire swallowed and looked down at her paws, wishing she knew of a way to fix the situation. But, more than anything, she wanted to put it behind her and forget any of it had happened.

Soon the Alpha male spoke his goodbyes and proceeded upward toward the rendezvous site. Wildfire followed after him, staying silent. When they reached the familiar clearing, she helped herself to a drink from a nearby puddle, then slumped down beside it, curled into a ball and shut her eyes. It took a few minutes to fall asleep, what with her head and heart so preoccupied, but exhaustion caught up quickly and sent her off to sleep.
