Swiftcurrent Creek here with me

After a moment she heard footsteps in the snow, and Kas turned to look at who approached. She was bristled against intrusion, but the wind brought the faintest scent of creek with the wolf's, and that calmed Kas's nerves. The dark beta nodded toward the wolf, motioning for her to take a closer look at the unearthed, half-eaten rotting meat before them. "No wolf would have done that," she commented to the other, studying the scene before her. Kaskara was unnerved by this, but she didn't know what to do about it.

"This meat is half-rotten already. A wolf would not risk contamination from such old meat. Who else could have done this? Who would be so desperate?" she asked, both to herself and to the other. Kaskara turned toward the female, noting her caution, and dipped her head again. "I am Kaskara, the beta. Did my brother accept you?"
