Stone Circle No place like home

The howl that Grayday sent out was urgent, and Steady quickly got to his paws and ran to the borders. His hackles were raised as he flew through the trees and emerged from the other side. Snow covered the ground, but the wolves stuck out against it, and he could see, Grayday and Krypton, and a third wolf. 

He hadn't expected Adeline to return so soon, especially in the middle of winter, so he stood, shocked, for a moment before he closed the distance between them. He went to her side, cuddling up to her to help warm her up. Grayday had already gotten her food, which she looked like she really needed. Adeline, what happened? he asked, worry lacing his voice. She looked so ragged and thin, and not at all how he imagined she would look upon her return.
