Blacktail Deer Plateau retrospective

It seemed Atticus had involved himself with Willow, causing Fox to wonder why Peregrine was the Alpha at all. Fox was used to the norm of things where, unless there was a damn good reason for it, the Alpha pair was the mated pair. Betas were more flexible according to her traditions, and she had appointed Bazi and Njal at the same time. It had made sense, and she would have gladly given Tuwawi the spot alongside her mate if she had not refused it. Fox pushed these thoughts aside, knowing this was not the time nor the place for such discussions.

When Peregrine ushered them toward Atticus's apparent location, Fox followed obediently, placing herself on the flank opposite of Blue Willow. “Is it… contagious?” asked Fox, worried that they might be putting themselves in danger. The last thing a pack needed was for all three leaders to contract some terrible zombie disease and put them in turmoil. Fox knew this all too well, considering she had been there when her sole leader had thrown herself into a creek.
