Holly leaned back into Augustus' legs as he showered her in licks. She was comforted by his larger presence and was glad that she was no longer the center of the coyote's attention. She listened to them talk back and forth, and their words became more hostile with every exchange. She shrunk back further and took a seat almost underneath the older wolf. Her ears remained pinned to her head as she tried to understand what was going on.The true meaning of their words was beyond her but she gauged the interaction by the tones of their voices. All she really knew was that they were angry and she started to blame herself, as young ones will often do.

Of course it was her fault that they were fighting. She was the one who had gotten lost and strayed too far from the pack's den. Her mother had often scolded her for venturing too far; why should her new family be any different? Riddled with guilt for what she was causing she turned her gaze to the ground. She would surely get a reprimand when the white male was done dealing with the coyote. After all, it had been she who caused the coyote to come so close in the first place. They were not allowed and with good reason. Her whole pack agreed on that, at least from what she had witnessed so far. She sighed softly and with sadness as she burdened herself with the shame. Already she was troubling her new family. They might even kick her out! Her sadness grew, replacing her fear, and she sat their looking forlorn as the older canines continued to talk.
