Kaskara was returning from a long day's search at Swiftcurrent Creek with her brother, Scimitar. She had been overjoyed at seeing him here, but that joy had been tinged with a bitterness at the thought of Osprey's continued absence and her own inability to find her. The dark thoughts that had begun nearly a week ago had filtered into every waking moment, tingeing any hopeful moment with a thread of blame.

She was climbing the last remaining slopes toward the plateau when she heard Blue Willow's call followed moments later by Peregrine's. They were both heavy with grief. Kaskara knew the worst had happened; they had found Osprey and not in the state they had hoped. She picked up her exhausted pace and ran toward them, toward the scene she would never forget: Peregrine and Blue Willow standing over a small corpse, black ears and all, with Pura standing silent nearby. Her heart shattered. Kas felt that everything good and just in the world had disappeared with the light and life of that little girl. Everything they had worked for this last week had been for nothing.

Her two-toned eyes drunk in the scene, but after a moment she tore them away from the small body and locked onto Blue Willow, the woman Kaskara felt was responsible for this situation. As the Caregiver, she was in charge of the puppies when the parents weren't around. Peregrine was injured and that left her in charge, both as the Caregiver and the Alpha! She was the alpha female! She was responsible for every member of this pack, including the pups!

Hatred boiled inside her, hatred a sensible part of her knew was uncalled for, but a hatred so strong she could barely look at her anymore. "This is your fault, alpha female," she spat the words like venom, lowering her head and raising her hackles into a fighting stance. She began to circle the woman, anger building inside, blinding her to the delicate situation at hand. "You should have been protecting the pups, you should have known where they were. You are the alpha while Peregrine is injured, you are in charge. The blame lies with you." Each sentence was punctuated with a deep, guttural growl from within her chest, a menacing sound from years of practice with her warlord father.
