When the trespassing she-wolf submitted and then began to slink away with her tail tucked between her legs, Osprey Jr. liked to think she'd had something to do with it. She paused, head arched, ears pricked and the curve of her black tail making a strange bow shape as she watched the male follow her. Only when they began to move off into the distance did Junior turn. At the very same moment, Thistle seemed to change her mind, declaring that she would rather take the trespasser as a captive.

The Alpha's mate called her to heel and the puppy obliged by bounding over toward her motherly guardian. "I'm a good Warrior," Junior declared before modestly amending, "right?" She grinned at Thistle, though she kept shooting the other two intermittent glances, wondering what exciting thing might happen next.
