Swiftcurrent Creek Fight it, take the pain, ignite it

He moved along the borders on his usual patrol route. The sun had set hours ago, leaving a chill to settle over the creek. Winter would be here in no time, and the thought greatly worried The alpha. How would they keep everyone fed through the cold season? His hope was that they managed to bring in some lone wolves as the weather grew colder. But what if they didn't? He wouldn't lose anymore children; he would not let that happen. 

He stopped to inspect a tall, robust fir tree that stood like a silent sentinel on the borders. It was a tree he marked many time before this. His scent had faded some, so he freshened it and began walking again. The night had been quiet so far. He was jealous of the trees' silence; he wished his own mind was the same way, but it never was.
