A Piece of My Heart Left Behind

Cougar. Pura had never seen one, but the thought of them fascinated him. Her bluntness did not faze him - Pura did not mince his words, and it made things easier for him if others did not either. It's not safe to go alone - fight cougars with a buddy. Sage advise.

Junior's intended departure was not yet on the boy's radar. He had his plate full keeping track of his sister, and practicing a Guardian's duties. Hawkeye, therefore, was the first wolf to leave without being forced out - like Kaskara. He stared blankly at his foster mother, considering his response, wondering what was going on behind her animated eyes and red-brown scar. There was always so much going on. So much noise, so many feelings. "OK. Will you be alpha?" It seemed important somehow, to leave a pack and a rank for something bigger, better. He dreamed of it sometimes, disappearing to some magical, far-away land with Saēna. It would have a sparkling lake - that was all he knew.

i think this is before Peregrine howls about Junior?
