Redhawk Caldera Sequestration

Peregrine did not reply to his son's allegation verbally, though he turned it over in his head. He sincerely doubted Wildfire's line of thinking had even gone in that direction at all. He was pretty sure one of Ragnar's sons (if not both) had lured her, as had the sense of a new adventure and a life of her own. But because of the depression creeping in like some black fog, he wouldn't soon forget Nightjar's words, nor how they briefly hurt his feelings.

Noting the juvenile's frown, Peregrine repeated, "But hopefully in the spring." Wildfire and Rave had been been excited by the idea of younger siblings but it occurred to him that he didn't know now Nightjar really felt about them. He was dimly aware of the boy's distaste for Elwood Jr but the Betas' offspring was different than the Alphas', his blood brothers and sisters. "Are you looking forward to helping raise them?" he wondered, black head canting.
