Shadow was increasingly tense as he was by Anabel's side , as he wanted, no needed to protect her. she was caring there pups after all. he was heading back with food to bring Anabel when he heard his queens call and he placed the rabbit on the ground before he troded over to Esmae and looked at her.

He already knew what the meeting was for; it was for kratos and her brother were missing. he sat and waited for the rest of the pack to arrive and he tilted his head to the side. "is every thing all right esmae?" he asked, thou he knew it wasn't, clearly. he knew that this was an important and serious meeting.

Shadow knew that with kratos being missing the pack could fall into diseray and chaos. it could give any of the other packs a reason to attack. he would do anything to help his queen and protect the pups and nursing or pregnate females. Shadow couldnt imagine what esmae was going through right now and he could do what ever he could to make sure she stays safe and protected, the more wolfs that showed up shadow subtly moved closer to were the queen was standing.
