Whitebark Stream Open heart

Saena's lips twitched into a faint smile at the memory Wildfire dredged up, but she didn't think on it too much. She was no longer sure she'd be able to eat her own offspring, though the idea was tempting. She would never have to deal with Reek again if they all mysteriously died. Still, now that she was older and actually pregnant, she supposed it was a little unthinkable.

Her eyes shifted to the greying sky as well when a quiet peal of thunder sounded from high above. The Alpha's fur prickled lightly. She last major storm she'd experienced was the one that destroyed Redtail Rise, and while she knew this was not the same kind of storm, she was feeling anxious suddenly. For that reason, she was a little glad when Wildfire called an end to their meeting, although she did have the decency to echo her half-sister's farewell: "stay warm and fed out there." Til you return, Saena thought with certainty. She knew Wildfire was a wolf of her word.

As her red-haired sibling left to seek shelter, Saena turned and loped deeper into the woods in search of a place to hide.
