Rhyder smiled at inka before resting his head on the ground between his paws. He closed his eyes and willed sleep to over take him.

Jasper nodded to the alphas before starting towards his usual spot and laying down.

Damian laid down next to rhyder, copying the wolves movements.

Caelum swiftly padded to the corner fold of the entrance and curled in a tight ball, closing her eyes, worried for the next few days, but eventually, she managed to sleep peacefully in her space.

Rhyder soon drifted off excited for the trip tomorrow. The alpha seemed very welcoming and rhyder hoped he wouldn't mind them visiting.

Damian rolled over onto his side. He wasn't happy the rhyder and inka were leaving him but he didn't mind too much because he liked spending time with Jasper and Caelum.

The wind howled and critters crawled, but eventually, the morning came and the sun rose. Inka was up with it. She nudged Rhyder firmly, trying to wake him up, "Come on, we should be going, it'll be hot soon!" She rasped.

Rhyder got up and stretched obediently. He wagged his tail a little as he started towards the entrance. "Do you think they will be fine?" He asked curiously. He glanced back at the other sleeping wolves and at Damian.

"Damian? He'll be fine. If anything happens, I'm sure Caelum and Jasper will look after them," Inka smiled softly before licking his cheek lightly, "Don't worry yourself."

"Ok. Come on my love. Let's go." Rhyder said happily. He walked out of the den and lapped up some water before waiting for inka to join his side.

Inka smiled with a nod, quickly going to lick Damians head before trotting along and towards the water behind Rhyder. Once she caught up to him, she used her paw to splash Rhyder before hopping out the river and shaking herself dry. "We'll be walking for a while," Inka started, "so might as well make it enjoyable," She finished with a bright smile.

Rhyder shook his head when he was splashed with water. He gave a nod upstandinging what inka meant. He jumped into the river allowing his fur to soak before getting out and shaking off the extra drops.

Inka smiled and shook herself off again before starting to pad in the forest towards the canp of f what she was raised on.
