Redhawk Caldera I turned my face to the highway.

So, it was a conflict of personalities. Fox was well-acquainted with those, considering she rarely played well with others. Hell, she'd left the pack she was leading twice now (although she had no intentions of doing such a thing ever again). The only way she could see that Redhawk Caldera would survive was if those who pledged themselves were behind her and Peregrine all the way. If they were not, Fox fully intended to kick them out and have them find a place where they might fit in better.

"We could use somebody with a few more years on them," she admitted. After only a brief moment of hesitation, she continued. "Peregrine and I will be bringing young into the world when the time comes. Are you prepared to help in whatever capacity we need? I imagine you've encountered pups in your time." Fox wanted him to be truly committed before she said or did anything to finalize the deal. She wanted to vet their pledges more thoroughly than she had in the past. These wolves were to become family, after all.
