Redtail Rise Home we'll go

It didn't take too long to find Wynter, which was a relief. The alpha female half-expected her wayward friend to be hiding out, but the former siren was out in the open, easily tracked down by any half-decent wolf, especially a Gamekeeper like herself. She smiled warmly when Wynter turned to face her and returned the greeting with a bright, "hey!" of her own, but her eyes were stormier than usual with a mixture of worry and uncertainty. The last thing she wanted to do was crush Reek's dreams because of his mate's flightiness, but in the same vein, she didn't want to make a mother of someone who was potentially unfit to be one like her own adoptive mother was.

"Where'd you run off to?" the alpha wondered, seating herself on the plush forest floor. Moss was abundant here, so it was like a carpet to her tough paws. Definitely comfortable. "I was worried something happened to you," she admitted, though in reality, Saena was equally angry. She didn't show it, mostly because it was masked by her concern for Wynter's well-being, but recently she'd had enough of wolves randomly up and leaving without a word, so for a trusted wolf to do it stung even more. First, though, Saena wanted to know where, and why, Wynter had taken off in the first place.
