Swiftcurrent Creek let the rain wash away the pain

Kaskara's stomach twisted at the thought of being beta, of having some sort of responsibility greater than before, of owing her life to more than just Bazi and her brother. But she was willing to give that to the creek, because it had given her refuge when no other place would, and aside from a few fluke wolves, everyone inside their ranks was, for better or worse, part of her family.

"If you need me with you for that, call on me," she offered. It would do no good for her brother to get hurt if he did meet with Shadow. Kas nodded and nudged his cheek again before readying to leave. "I'll go check on Bazi. You should speak with her. Sooner rather than later, brother." She laughed softly and turned to leave, knowing he would understand her meaning.
