Silvertip Mountain Mama, I'm a big girl now

Steady had not been far from the den site when Adeline's call rang in his ears. He immediately picked up his pace, hearing the urgency in her howl. He came out of the brush and entered the small clearing, his gaze first on Adeline, whose hackles were raised, and then shifted to Philos, who looked rather calm in the face of an aggressive wolf.

What's going on? he asked, making his way over to stand beside Adeline, as she would have his full support until he was convinced otherwise. Philos was a new wolf, and Steady wondered if he had upset Adeline. But, he would make sure to keep an open mind. His eyes shifted from one wolf to the other, waiting for a reason for the call.
