Ouroboros Spine xxv. pick it all up

Keyni found adjusting to life in Moonglow easy. She had already spent a considerable amount of time here at the Spine before officially becoming a member. Added to that, she was familiar with many of the faces in the pack, save for a handful. And, she also knew the great majority of the territory well. There were still corners left undiscovered, waiting to be explored. Surprises to be had. The season of Spring, with its warmth and sunlight kept her spirits high, even if her thoughts did occasionally wander to Antares and how he was faring out there on his own.

The remains of her lunch time meal were carried securely in her jaws. She had been successful in catching a beaver down by the stream that fed the lake, quite happy to keep the population in check. The paddle shaped tail was all that remained. From her many studies, the Tundrian female knew it to be rich in fats and nutrients. If left out in the sun to dry for a couple of days, it might make a nice jerky-like snack, just for wolves. She would conduct her experiment just as soon as she found a suitable place to settle, away from any scavengers.
