Redhawk Caldera PACKTIVITY -- Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

I liken this to the way women's menstrual cycles line up when they spend a lot of time together lol

Early that morning, Fin had sought the quiet solitude of the upper Caldera, completely unaware until his call rang out that her fellow beta had also been roaming the slopes that day. She was in a sullen mood, somehow feeling both restless and listless. She blamed Fox entirely--knowing full well that the woman being in heat likely had an effect on all of the subordinate women of the pack, stirring up all of their hormones until one could almost taste the tension in the air. Or, maybe it was just Fin being dramatic. In either case, she had attempted to steal away from it all for the day, wanting nothing more than to wallow in her own moodiness and misery.

She'd just been wondering for the umpteenth time how Finn was faring since their "breakup"--if they'd even been enough to call it that--when Elwood's voice rang across the territory. Fin had debated for a while on whether or not to join in on the fun--not feeling particularly jubilant after all, she wasn't sure if her melancholy presence might not ruin it for the rest of them. In the end, she dragged herself up onto all fours and cantered off, assuring herself that it was her obligation as the pack's beta female driving her and not some hormone-induced longing to be around Elwood the pack's males.

The scene Fin arrived upon was not at all helpful to her current mood. Not only was her handsome counterpart surrounded by two other females, but the alpha pair were going at it right on top of her dinner. Fin supressed the dark growl that tickled her chest and stalked forward, head and tail flung high subconsciously to remind the other subordinates that she was above them and to back away from what was hers. Bitches just be crazy.

"Yes, unfortunately," Fin grumbled to the unknown female who had posed the question to Elwood, not caring at all that she'd clearly intended it to be for his ears only. Her hormone-dilluded mind claimed even the whispers Elwood received to be hers, but fortunately she had the sense enough to keep such thoughts to herself even when she would have rather thrown a tantrum and pushed the other women's noses into the dirt to show her dominance and stake her claim. That desire was quite the irrational one since Elwood was not actually hers, after all. So how weird would that have been.

The Blackthorn glanced over at the furiously coupling alphas before giving a shrug and leaning in to claim a piece of the meat for her own, dragging it a away from them so that she could munch on it in peace. She swallowed a couple of bites before looking around at the not-boning-eachother crew that had gathered and then to Elwood, wondering what it was exactly he had intended when he'd dragged all of this meat up the mountain.
