Whitefish River "brew glory,"

Kavik turned his inky head at the bark from their new packmate. He too felt bad that he hadn't noticed her following them, and he offered her an apologetic look. You're welcome to join us, he replied, reassuring the female that they didn't mind her presence just as his mate had. 

Ruenna then inquired about the scout trade, and Kavik listened quietly as his wife further explained the trade to the silver female. The alpha was glad she seemed to be settling in well enough to be seeking ways to pull her weight in the pack, and she had proven herself valuable so far.

His attention was pulled to Liri's exclamation. She seemed to have picked up on a scent trail because she soon took off, nose to the ground. The scent of deer became apparent as they followed the trail, and Kavik remained close behind his mate, keeping his gaze trained on their surroundings and ensuring her safety while her attention was focused on tracking down the herd.
