Redhawk Caldera I'm two quarters and a heart down

Having left the children in the care of Elwood and Finley (probably a terrible idea, if Fox had thought about it for more than half a second), the Redhawk wolf headed out toward the boundaries of her home. Peregrine would be home soon, she thought, and she intended to steal him away for some special time while their betas were looking after the children. It had been far too long since their last private moment.

She picked up a whiff of his scent, and bounded toward it with a bounce in her step and fire in her eyes. Instead of finding him relaxed and limping his way home, she saw him facing off against two strangers. Fox's hackles immediately stood on end, and she burst into a sprint, fully intending to run off the intruders. If they did not run, she would aim for the female's rump. They had a choice to make, and they would need to make that choice quickly.
