Redhawk Caldera Luck of an Unlucky Hippie [Rejoin]

For an instant, Peregrine thought Ashton was about to backpedal and leave to go search for Somnia. The Alpha would not have stopped him, though that would be the last time he ever let the golden boy come near here. But in the next breath, Ashton accepted defeat and agreed to the leader's terms. He spoke in a heartless tone, clearly affected by the knowledge that he was to blame for Somnia's disappearance.

Peregrine was not about to soften on this issue. He missed his former Gamma terribly. "All right then, make yourself at home. But don't come near the rendezvous site until myself or Fox gives you verbal clearance." The Firebirds were full grown, physically speaking, and two of them were already Warriors by trade. He highly doubted Ashton posed any type of threat regardless. But it was the principle of the matter more than anything. The pack's heart was reserved for its longstanding, loyalest members.

"I have things to do. Work hard to make it up to us," were the Alpha's parting words to Ashton. To Elwood, he said, "See you later, man." He strode past the Beta, offering him a quick nudge, then trotted away to tell Fox of their latest prodigal son.
