Redhawk Caldera (J) Brother or Bother?

When a second wolf joined the first, Peregrine immediately began to bristle. Why were two young males coming this close to his territory? What did they want? Were they a threat? If he had known who they were, he might have laughed (or cried) at the irony. Tyrannus had thrown them all out on their asses, perceiving them as threats when they were no such thing. Of course, he didn't yet realize they were his brothers. And that information would change everything, whereas it had meant nothing to the tyrannical former Alpha.

"What is your business here?" The five words came out even more sharply than he had intended as he drew nearer to the two strangers, his good eye shrewdly flicking from one face to another. He lifted his head and tail, exhibiting dominance and commanding submission. That was proper etiquette at his borderline.

But then the tension suddenly vanished from his features and his jaw went slack in surprise. "Ray? Dean?" He hadn't seen either of them in nearly two years, yet time hadn't changed them too much. "Holy shit, what are you two doing here?" He took a step toward the closer of the two (Ray), sniffing noses with them, then turned and stared at Dean for a full five seconds before his tail broke into a tentative wag.
