Blacktail Deer Plateau easy does it

Hope it is alright if I jump in! (: I wasn't here for Junior's disappearance, but I skimmed some of the threads to get a sense of what happened and hope I haven't overstated the pack's grief over her loss.

There was a heaviness in the air and a sorrow to the land that Kaihra had not noticed at first. Yet as she had begun to become more familiar with her surroundings she could not deny that the grief was there and still very strong. It mingled with the scent of her packmates, sometimes so overwhelmingly so that it caused her spine to prickle and her hackles to rise with unease.
