Redhawk Caldera discoveries

Well, he didn't do much at all, to tell the truth. With two (technically three) litters under his belt, Peregrine was not exactly surprised by the newborn's lackadaisical demeanor. In a few days, he would be much more active. In a few weeks, he would be a ball of endless energy. He was going to be one lucky pup, too, with his parents' undivided attention on him. Peregrine loved his big family, yet in a way he envied the tiny Blackthorn trio.

Although baby Elwood hadn't minded the lick and seemed rather content with the idea of a bath, actually, Peregrine didn't want to rob the parents of that kind of bonding opportunity. Instead, he lowered his face and rubbed his black cheek ever so gently against the puppy's face. It might have looked a bit strange, yet it was just one more way of welcoming the puppy to the pack. He wasn't the Alpha's direct offspring, yet now he was drenched in the king's scent and, in that way, he became the entire pack's child.
