Silver Creek Finally reaching the border

The beta heard the howl and was quick to arrive at the scene. She did not recognize the howl at first, and with her new mission put upon her from Spring, she made sure to stay close to the borders to be able to arrive at every call. Tomorrow, she would take a trip outside the territory in search of possibe recruits, but for now she would stay inside to guard. She approached the scene, tail high and eyes hard with focus. Spring had chosen her to be the beta, and she would make sure every stranger knew that. However, most of her dominant stance disappeared as she recognized her brown loner friend. "Mella!" She cried, trotting to the border to touch her nose to the girl's shoulder. "I haven't seen you in a while. It's good to see you again." 

She let her eyes trail along Mella's slender body, which was quickly giving away to boniness. She frown, worried for her well being. "When have you last eaten? You look awfully skinny." Her tail was stilled and her eyes grew concerned.
