Nova Peak children of the wild ones

Kaskara was surprised to find that Scimitar seemed to be over his anger at her. She promised to never leave the pups again, to protect them before Scimitar or Bazi, and yet that still seemed strange to her. She settled down nearby, watching the pups playing and waiting for Kieran to arrive. When he didn't after a few minutes, Scim turned toward her to ask where he was. She shrugged. "I'm not sure. I haven't seen him much lately." There was nothing wrong between them, if that's what he thought. She just wasn't the type of girl to need to be with her beloved every second of every day. They were adults and had varying duties to the pack. Maybe he was swept up in one of those and hadn't heard the call.
