Redtail Rise burn like a fire inside

Figured I'd throw Reek atcha! Hope you don't mind!

Although Smash had caught Reek in a relatively good mood, owing her acceptance to the pack on her brimming positivity and the fact that Reek's brief stint of leadership had just begun.  Paranoia had not yet had it's time to manifest.  However, given the time to take root, fear and worry can warp even the soundest of minds.  Five days into Saena's absence, and Reek had become obsessive over protecting his family. His constant patrols on the border were becoming longer, and his time away from the interior of the pack and his mate was ebbing away at the sake of duty, just as his stability was rapidly becoming more fleeting.

If there is a higher power, Lord help anyone who tries to cross the line of piss in the sand.

Reek had caught the scent of another, long before the howl even rang through the air.  He followed, hoping to intercept whatever perceived threat the stranger was.  When the stranger howled to summon a member of the pack, Reek was already close at hand, moving quickly to close the gap between him and the smokey-black wolf who laid behind the scent markers.

Although he may have not been the most intimidating sort, Reek approached with his tail high and ears forward as he glared at the new arrival. "What'd you want?"  He snarled, hoping the other would keep his explanation brief.  While normally a wordsy man,  Reek was no longer in the mood for pleasantries when the safety of his pack was possibly at stake.
