Porcupine Ridge rose madder

capriccio was quickly becoming of great interest to vuk -- she commanded as though she had been born unto it, though she was not the mate of the alpha male. and while the lovely wolfess was kind in these moments, vuk sensed that she could become cold in a moment's notice. 

willingly she quickened her steps to follow at the leader's side. vuk was seized with the urge to ask how the ridge had come to be founded, but it was an abstract question, and the girl was moved with a sense of dejection. yet it passed in a moment; her tongue lolled happily and she woofed at capriccio, inviting her on a run.
