It was true.
After the storm there was always a rainbow. Even if what had happened had been more like a hurricane in Cara's mind, she was now happy to say that the dark coulds looming over the Spine had been cleared. Slowly they had picked up the broken glass, each of them getting their fair share of cuts as they did so. The four-member pack had now doubled its size and though even if the Frost Queen had not exchanged more than names with them, she trusted (as much as it irked her) Mordecai's jugement for choosing them.
Cara had been more focused on tending the borders, and keeping track of the elk herd Mordecai and her had managed to chase into the territory. But today that would change. Following her nose, the pale Alpha began to trail behind any unfamiliar scent that crossed her path, sooner or later she'd have to encounter one of the newbies.
She didn't know what Mordecai had told them, but today they'd get the full welcoming speech along with their task list, given by the Queen herself.
There were no more free rides, Winter was near and they needed everyone to move around.
