Golden Glade shit

The fact that Alder hadn't been able to find Estelle or a fresh scent of her was both infuriating and terrifying -- she'd promised to be there for Eden, yet when she needed her most, she was gone? Had something happened to her, or had she -- like Nico, Ayla, and Penelope -- abandoned them?

On one of his more fast-paced patrols, marking half-assed and quickly before trotting on forward, he heard her call -- the weak nature of it banished his anger and drove his massive paws into a gallop towards her. 

                  "Estelle!"

Bursting through the ancient trees to see the pale woman, wounded and tired. Rushing forward with a whine of concern, he held off on telling her about Eden and instead pressed a supportive shoulder to hers in effort to hold her up. Whoever had done this to her would pay!

                                            "What happened? Who did this to you?"
