Swiftcurrent Creek dogs howling at the moon

Fade with your next post? Or my next one?

“Yawn?” she asked, thinking on the word for a moment, “There was less yawning and more scrambling around trying to keep my feet underneath me.” Because while nobody had outright challenged her, she'd been required to gather their respect in some way or another. She had failed with Jinx, although that did not hurt her pride as much as it might have hurt some. The ghostly Kesuk had merely been destined for other things. In a way, perhaps the other lady had shown her respect more by setting out on her own rather than challenging Fox for the throne.

It was really a wonder nobody had tried the tactic regarding a place by her side, yet. While she was aware that she had plenty of suitors, none of them sans Razo had even voiced their opinions on the matter. (She wasn't sure if Perry counted, considering he resided somewhere else entirely.) Instead, they showed their affections in other ways. Doing things for the pack, bringing her fat rabbits, chatting with her here and there. It would take far more than that for the feisty young Alpha to be wooed.

“What do you say we go hunt down some grub?” she asked, standing and shaking her coat. It hadn't been terribly long since her last meal, but Fox was always up for a good chase, even if it didn't end in a feast.
