Blacktail Deer Plateau the holiest of altars

Kas sighed, knowing the girl would be upset. "I know Simon Says...This one may just take a little longer." She expected Junior to complain again, but she seemed to hear something that diverted her attention. Before Kas could ask what was wrong, the girl commanded her to come and spun on her heel. Kaskara followed her, even though their Simon Says game was technically still in effect. The last thing she wanted to do was get either Junior or herself in trouble.

Soon they arrived in clearing where another pup was asleep. The scent of an adult female permeated the area, though it was beginning to fade, like she had been gone for a little while. "Is that your sister?" she pointed her nose in the direction of the sleeping pup, her voice kept at a whisper. Her bi-toned eyes scanned the area for signs of the mother, but saw none. "Where is your mother?" she asked again, as she sat down at the edge of the clearing. She didn't want the mother to find her too close to her children, especially considering she was a stranger in these lands.

Plus, if Peregrine was Junior's father, that meant her mother was his mate. And that meant she was probably the alpha female, and she definitely didn't want to get on her bad side.
