Ankyra Sound Winter Arrival

caiaphas' ominous and thinly veiled threat did not cause the pale female to skip a beat. the coywolf drew herself upright, a simple smile unfurling across her narrow countenance. perhaps this female would be a welcome addition to saltwinter's ranks -- only time would tell.

"i am the alpha - caiaphas." she had almost said matriarch -- siren queen -- but instead, elected to choose the simplest of explanations.

"i will show you the cache - follow me." other wolves would have been hesitant to draw stranger close into their realm -- but caiaphas knew the grotto well, well -- well enough that if noel ended up not being the kind wolf she appeared, caiaphas would be ready.
