Emberwood Summer on my side

At first, the move had been exciting to Dauntless, but after several hours of trudging after the adults and being intermittently carried (which was actually rather uncomfortable now that the pups were getting bigger), he found that he just wanted to be back in the den. It took him a while to realize they would not be going back. His father showed no signs of turning around, and his whole countenance seemed to be pointed toward another location. Dauntless cried pitifully several times to his mother, but still they did not turn back.

When they finally arrived at their temporary destination, Dauntless was exhausted. As soon as he saw the rest of the pack beginning to settle down for a long rest, he moved toward Khoe and curled up next to her. He was not even able to answer his father's question. He was not quite asleep, but much too tired to do or say anything. Slowly, his tiny brown eyes began to close.
