Someone had attacked a member of her pack. The fury Terra felt over this still burned in her. She didn't particularly know him very well, but she still hated it. The blood...It had been so much. The smell had lingered for days before fading. The insecure feeling she had only increased. Talking with Strel, seeing the beta so worn had frightened her. Being told that what she viewed as her home wasn't safe didn't help either. Granted, he hadn't actually said that. Terra was sure that was what he had meant though.
She had to work to protect the pups. Axelle had already frightened her with the idea of telling Kit. To know that there was something out there hurting her pack was even more terrifying than a bear. Assurances that the attack had happened a distance away didn't help. Moving along the border Terra checked to see if there was anything she could do to make it more secure. Her pregnancy was obvious at this point. There was no hiding the bulge in her belly. It wasn't humungous, but it was noticeable. Terra moved a branch, directing it over a path to trip any would-be attackers, and continued down the border.
