Qeya River anilaaktuk

maybe just a cameo since this is pretty far along! <3

there is commotion. chaos.

kivaluk, checking on the caches as he makes his patrol rounds comes across it too late. late enough to see the whirlwind of aftermath. his mother. amalia. a golden furred stranger in their pack lands! and last —

breath seizes in his throat as his gaze takes in the familiar figure of his father wrapped 'round his mother.

still, guard hairs bristle as he looms like a stony sentinel in the background, not wishing to charge into the settling sea of the altercation that has, so obviously, occured.
