Redhawk Caldera Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide [m]

As soon as Elwood removed his attention from the buck, the animal turned and attempted to pursue Peregrine. The master gamekeeper was entirely focused on chasing the pregnant doe, so Elwood dropped back in order to attempt to drive the male deer away. With a snarl, he lunged at his shoulder; he did not intend to sink his teeth into flesh, but instead tried to knock the buck off his feet.

He was successful in breaking the ungulate's stride, and when he regained his balance, he seemed to realize that he had other females to tend to. Under Elwood's watchful eye, the male bounded away. When he turned back to Peregrine, his hunting partner was in the process of dragging the doe to the ground.

A few long steps brought the Beta to the action. The doe was losing a lot of blood and her gait was unsteady; it wouldn't take much more effort from the two wolves to bring her down. He nipped at her swollen stomach, trying to urge her back towards Peregrine so that he could deliver the final blow.
