Stone Circle Only need the sun when it starts to snow

Steady had been watching over Keoni, worried that she didn't seem as playful as before her dip in the icy waters of the river. But, he still had to divide his time between his daughter and securing the borders. While the majority of his time was spent with Keoni, his patrols this time around had been longer than he expected. 

When he returned, it was to the backside of Mirabelle running out of the clearing his den was in. He thought it odd, but maybe she had heard him coming and thought she'd be in trouble. He approached the den, sticking his head inside and expected to see Keoni. But, the only thing that greeted him was Mirabelle's scent mingled with his daughter's. 

With a growl, Steady backed out of the den, and made a brisk pace to Mirabelle's den. Normally, he would have been respectful of her den, of her privacy, but not if she had taken his daughter. Steady wasn't in the most logical of minds, his worry of Keoni taking over the part of his brain that might have made him consider Mirabelle was helping Keoni, not harming her. But. That part didn't kick in. 

He dove into Mirabelle's den, and at the sight of his daughter gagging, and her body shaking, he turned on Mirabelle, thinking she had made Keoni sick. He growled, and attacked. The smallness of the den didn't exactly help, as he was a big wolf, but he snapped at her, hoping to grab onto flesh. Any and all logic was replaced with fear; fear of losing another pup. He wouldn't let it happen. Couldn't let it happen.
