Stone Circle Supposed to fire my imagination

Steady had, indeed, kept his distance from their den since the altercation with Mirabelle. In fact, he had kept his distance from the majority of the pack, save for his partner, Valette. He did his patrols, and sometimes he would sneak by the den quickly, just smell Keoni's scent, and then he would make his way to the stone circle. He found he realized how quickly he had gotten used to having the warmth of Valette, Nikai and Keoni in the den, and he missed. The snow was a cold partner to sleep with, offering no comfort whatsoever.

When Valette's howl reach him, he was immediately worried, fearing something had happened. He was up and running towards the den, slowing to a stop at the entrance. Valette? he said softly, not wanting to scare Keoni. He could smell her, knew that she was there. But, he didn't know she had been the one to ask for him.
