Redhawk Caldera But you've got to come back a star

The fact that Fox intended to discuss the topic with Wildfire's father gave the girl hope. She would be an adult in just a few months, so maybe they were ready to let her go off on her own. Her mother did remind her that the pack couldn't protect her when she left, then warned her that Saena might prove as unpredictable as Junior. The gingery pup bobbed her head to acknowledge these statements.

"I know it's not as safe as staying here. But I want to be an Outrider so bad," Wildfire confessed to her mother. "And I'm a Warrior too. I know how to take care of myself." Obviously, she couldn't avoid all danger out there and she would come home with scrapes and bruises at some point. "Magpie and I escaped a cougar, mom. I'm not afraid of Saena," she concluded, biting her lip and glancing up at the Alpha female with a hopeful smile.
