Rising Sun Valley beginning

Last post from me!

If Bazi had ever thought Jinx overly sensitive for reacting to any wolf that strayed within sniffing distance of her doorstop, those feelings were gone now. This made two Silvertip wolves that had journey across literal mountains to intrude on their territory, and that made every hair on her back stand to attention like an army of sharp, nervy little soldiers.

Athena did as she was bid, as did Majesty - but not without pointing out a fact that kept Bazi awake on moonless nights, when it was nearly impossible to see. Swiftcurrent Creek had no cliffs, no mountains, no barriers, and it was up to all of them to keep strangers well aware of the pack's existence. Not all intrudes would be so polite (or pompous-looking, the youth thought, watching the impeccably groomed male skirt around the gathering of quietly simmering Creek wolves).

Once again, numbers won. She bumped her nose against Fox as the rust-red leader passed her, and turned back towards home.
