Redhawk Caldera My mind put to motion

A she-wolf emerged, entirely average in appearance but commendable in her behavior. Peregrine arched his head and tail in response to her submission, not to lord it over her but as an instinctive acknowledgement of their respective places in the hierarchy. He ascertained her for a moment, then lashed his tail once, relaxing his posture somewhat and cutting through some of the tension.

"You're new," he stated the obvious. He almost asked her for her name, then decided he couldn't be bothered at the moment. "I am Perry, your Alpha. Come with me." Without explanation, he swept away, trotting along the caldera's base. Only after going few hundred yards did he elaborate, "We are hunting for my pregnant mate."
