Redhawk Caldera Feel the mercury rising

Sebastian's reluctance to share caused Peregrine to frown. It made him think of Pan. He liked to think the wolves of the caldera were close, a tightly-knit family. Yet twice now his pack mates had refused to confide in him. The Alpha wondered how he could make his subordinates feel like they could trust him and share what was on their minds. Was he doing something that made them feel as if they couldn't come to him about their troubles? Sebastian's second remark caused the frown to deepen.

"Who says I'm in a good mood?" he joked wryly, then said, "I won't force you to talk, Seb, but if you need someone to listen, that's what I'm here for."
