Stone Circle can't fight this feeling

Steady headed back towards the den, a little ways behind Keoni, after their feast. He could feel the wounds on his face healing after his altercation with Althaia's murder, and they would be a permanent reminder of the sacrifices he made for his pack, however long a wolf might be with them. Althaia had quickly become one of their own, and to have her taken so brutally was not something Steady could just forget. And when he came face to face with her murderer, he knew she would not leave the territory alive. He had avenged Althaia, and in turn, Keoni and Nikai, as well.
