Sleepy Fox Hollow Run, run lost boy

She wasn't her normal, witty, amiable self today, or any day recently. Normally, she would have jumped at the chance at meeting someone new, offering some clever retort to break the ice or something. But meeting strangers was low on her list right now. She wanted to search for her family without any distractions, which seemed kind of impossible even before now. 

The words seemed sympathetic, but the look on the stranger's face was quite the opposite, earning her a raised eyebrow. It was then that her scent filled the Beta's nose. She would recognize Donovan's scent anywhere and it most certainly mixed with that of the stranger. Was this a packmate? or maybe someone else he had fooled into getting close? She would keep the knowledge to herself for now just in case it was a packmate. They clearly didn't know who she was. 

She stiffened a little, straightening her tall muscular form in the presence of this stranger that smelled of someone she wasn't sure she trusted anymore. She quickly hid any lingering emotion behind a stony mask and shrugged. Do I? she asked. I'm not; I was just searching for someone, she continued. No need to give this stranger anymore insight to her condition.
