Redhawk Caldera I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition.

He's heading for Snake, but no contact has been made, just for clarity! :)

Elwood would kick himself for months afterward. He knew that he couldn't be everywhere all at once, but when he heard Phox's cry for help coupled with the more distant sound of Towhee's screams, his heart sank. He should have been there, even if it wasn't physically possible.

He raced towards the borders, realizing as he ran that the two puppies had managed to escape from the rendezvous site undetected. He swore under his breath and galloped faster, his paws flying over the grass with abandon.

He took in the scene with wide yellow eyes: the hastily retreating coyote, Phox and Towhee crouched together, and, worst of all, a large and unfamiliar wolf lingering in the background. While the stranger was seated, there was nothing promising about his presence. Elwood did not slow his pace; he barreled past his godchildren with a roar, aiming himself at the trespasser with teeth bared. If the other wolf did not retreat -- and fast -- the Alpha male planned to tear him to shreds.
