Redhawk Caldera Children of the wild

Shar-Kali didn't answer her directly, instead insisting that Wildfire stay here while she went to search for Fox. The young she-wolf shook her head. "Thanks, Shar-Kali, but that's really not necessary. I just saw her yesterday," she explained. "She's probably just busy and that's okay," she continued. She had howled, after all, and if the Alpha female hadn't come—which she hadn't—then Wildfire knew there must a very good reason for it.

She paused for a few beats, then said, "Honestly, I hope she's resting. That's what she should be doing right now. And if that's the case, then I want to bother her even less." There was also the possibility that she was hashing things out with Peregrine even as they spoke, which would explain why neither parent had shown up here. Whatever the case, Wildfire knew better than to take it personally. She knew things were trying right now; that was the whole reason she was here in the first place.
