Redtail Rise cordovan

In the end, Moon Runner heeded Father and decided to hold down the fort at the Rise. She had been entrusted as Trēow and had a promise to fulfill. Yet she waited, ready to receive Wealda and Berserker when they returned. However, the young wolf never expected their alpha to appear in such a state.

Moon Runner could smell blood before she laid eyes on them. Her leader was in bad shape. Fresh wounds glimmered with wetness and her gait was lame. But there – with her! A young infant… maybe a month old.

Moon Runner was shocked… and this was displayed when the white fur of her body stood on end as if she had touched a plasma ball. Even she, a feral woman, could put the pieces of the puzzle together. This was the get of the breeding pair of Nova Peak… and its parents… Blood Spot and Rolling Thunder…

A great tragedy has happened, Moon Runner’s spirit instinctively knew. But how?Why?

Animals don't ask questions. They don't wonder. And so Moon Runner could only accept the outcome.

Her furs smoothed. She approached the pair with a soft and gentle posture. Her tail wagged low, as if asking Wealda for permission to come close. She wished to inspect the child and her leader’s injuries.
