The pack was to young to support pups this year and it made his heart heavy. He wanted nothing more then to raise his own pups. Pups always got preferential treatment when it came to this male, he couldn't help it he was fond of them. A 'caretaker' to his core. These thoughts and more flirted across his mind as he patrolled the boarders.

Coming across Jace's scent he was about to turn and go the other way, find a place to sit and eat his duck. He trusted Jace's ability as a warden and did not need to travel along his trail twice.
