Redhawk Caldera So you can say letting go is easy

Her mind reeled when Finley informed her of the change in leadership, but time seemed to stop for a moment when she heard that Peregrine and Fox were gone. Why? she thought. They couldn’t be…
 
But they were, and it was both of them. Dead. If her eyes could have brimmed with tears, they would have. She hadn’t had time to know either of them well, but Peregrine had struck a chord with her straight away when she had initially joined, and Fox had taken her in with open arms the second time around, albeit bluntly, perhaps. They had been as good as family as far as she was concerned. They were pack.
 
Sassafras wordlessly pulled herself to a sit close to Finley and extended her head and neck forward to lick mournfully and submissively at the Alpha’s chin. She didn’t know what else to do, and there was certainly nothing she could think to say. Quietly, she supposed that even in her sorry state she should have known something was different based on border scents alone, but she simply hadn’t noticed and she’d had no reason to suspect these kinds of changes.
