Redhawk Caldera comeback story of a lifetime.

It seemed that Finley was safe from further onslaught for now, and so the beta stood straight and gave a hearty shake of her coat. Her tongue rolled out of her mouth as she panted with a happy grin. She was beginning to feel reckless. Not the reckless she'd been when she'd attempted to abandon her family reckless, but the reckless she'd felt when she'd nearly been killed by a bear and had had to stay at the Plateau for a couple of weeks. With a grin, she began to contemplate the ways she could act this out, heedless of her sobering role as mother and mate until Fox suddenly and casually smacked her in the face with it.

Fin contemplated the question for a few seconds, then gave an equally casual shrug. "I dunno," she quipped with a grin, "You know how I like these things to be surprises." It was still a bit of a sore spot, how things had gone down with her last litter. Alpha Fox may have been, but it still had stung the way she'd handled the news of her first pregnancy. She thought herself over it at this point, and so it felt like fun to laugh about her prior indiscretions.
