Silvertip Mountain I knew him

He smiled. No worries, he replied. Ezekiel had expressed an interest in the pups when he first came here, and Steady knew he was eager to get to know them. Steady just didn't anticipate the pups being too leery of the new members to hang around them. The Alpha would do his best to assure the pups that the newcomers were safe, and hoping entice them to socialize.

 His ears swiveled when Ezekiel admitted he hadn't seen Krypton since his joining. He had hoped his Gamma would spend a little more time with the new wolf, and he wasn't sure what had kept her away. She was generally a very outgoing and friendly wolf, but the famine may have changed her the way it had changed others. 

 He was glad to see, though, that Ezekiel was settling in okay. Well, if you have any problems, don't hesitate to come to me. I want to know what's going on, he replied. He almost felt a little detached from the others since his promotion, but he knew that was him projecting his feelings. They had been such a tight-knit family, and Steady was accustomed to seeing the same wolves day to day. With the loss of some, and the addition of others, Steady had to admit that he was still adjusting.
