Blacktail Deer Plateau Terrors in my head

As if speaking their names had summoned them, Kaskara, Dante and Fireblaze appeared one after the other. Peregrine looked at them, a stricken look on his face, and said simply, "You may start searching now or relieve the others when they return to rest." He had originally intended for them to take shifts, yet suddenly that idea seemed ludicrous. They needed as much manpower as possible during these crucial first hours.

Fireblaze's calls distracted him. Heart lurching into his throat, he jogged to sniff the ground where she stood. She took off before he could say anything to her, yet Peregrine ignored her for the moment as he combed the shore. Yet he smelled nothing, neither Osprey nor the scent of any other wolf. He ran back and forth, then in his frustration looked in the direction Fireblaze had gone. Yet she'd already disappeared downriver.

She's fucking crazy, thought to himself with dismay. Turning back to the others who remained, Peregrine repeated, "I will stay here in case she wanders home or someone else brings her back here." Watching them all disappearing in various directions and leaving him standing there was quite possibly the worst feeling in the world. Peregrine felt helpless and useless. Yet he had his part to play.

After poring over the shore one last time and finding nothing, the Alpha male slowly retreated up the slope and joined Amelie, Saēna and Pura on the ledge. "Where's Ty? Amelie, can you go find her?" he said distractedly even as he motioned for the two pups to come closer as he seated himself. Here he would keep vigil as the search parties spread out into the wilderness. Never before a spiritual man, Peregrine found himself hoping and praying for his little girl's safe return.
