Redhawk Caldera i may be crazy, don't mind me.

In some ways, Lagan and Eljay were similar. Both boys wore their hearts on their sleeves, to an extent. It was never difficult to figure out how either of them were feeling. But Eljay's emotions were bigger, somehow, and harder to control. So even as Lagan backed down and followed his parents' instructions, positioning himself near Elwood, Eljay couldn't seem to be able to control himself. He continued to plead with Finley, which was only drawing more of the Alpha female's ire.

She reprimanded Eljay again and Elwood looked to her. "Just go," he said, though his words weren't sharp. They were compassionate and filled with longing -- he wanted to go with her -- but the only way to salvage this situation was for her to leave. If Eljay tried to cling to her, Elwood would have to restrain him physically; and while he dreaded this repercussion, he knew that it might be required. He stepped closer to his oldest son. "She's not leaving the caldera. You'll see her later. You have to let her go," he murmured, shifting his gaze to Finley and nodding ever so slightly.
