"Fox doesn't have friends outside of the caldera," Peregrine refuted, though he did not stop the other male from continuing. He explained that he'd recently crossed paths with her and that she'd even offered him a place in the ranks. Somehow, the Alpha male doubted that, though why would he make up such a tale?

Even as he said the words, it triggered a memory. Pied had just given birth and died, leaving the Alpha pair to raise her two surviving pups alongside their two girls, when Njal had showed up with tidings from the creek... like he cared. "You did," he answered himself.
