Heron Lake Plateau under stars

My last post I think?

With a mouthful of food, Elwood turned his attention back to the spectacle overhead. There were murmurs around him from the other wolves gathered, and he noticed when Finley's weight shifted away from him as she leaned against Towhee. He was content to watch quietly until the show was over.

Belatedly, he glanced at the location where Ceara had been standing, intending to thank her for organizing this get together. But she was gone. He blinked and craned his neck to look for her, but the fiery she-wolf was nowhere to be found. He assumed that she simply thought her duty had been fulfilled, so he didn't put much stock into her disappearance and remained there with his family until they all started to disperse.
