Silvertip Mountain I knew him

Steady wound through the trees that covered the mountain, looking up into the canopy. Usually, there would be more shade provided by the branches and leaves, but the branches were bare. It meant less shade, and more heat, now that summer was here. But, if a wolf got hot, they only need to seek shelter in a den. 

It seemed one wolf had that idea, he thought as he came close to the communal den area, his gaze upon Ezekiel. The new Alpha approached the Epsilon, his tail wagging high with his rank, though Steady wasn't the overbearing type of leader. His demeanor when he was Beta would not change now that he had been promoted. It just meant he had some more difficult decisions to make regarding the pack. 

The dark wolf chuffed to announce he was present, not wanting to sneak up on Ezekiel. It's hot today, he commented. Steady rather liked the spring time, though this year he hadn't really gotten to enjoy it due to the locusts. How are you doing? he asked, wanting to know how he was faring.
