Peregrine

A while later, Peregrine stirred. It took a moment for the memories of what happened to flood back into his mind. Soon after, his muscles twitched with life, and the alpha staggered to his feet, blinking dizzily. He padded groggily around the area were Kira and her pups had been. The light snow that had fallen held their paw prints, as well as the humans. He found that their prints had suddenly stopped where human prints began. Puzzled at first, primarily because his was still drowsy, Peregine milled around and eventually followed Kira's scent to the gate. Then it dawned on him; of course, the humans took them!

Feeling utterly helpless, the alpha howled a forlorn song and sunk sullenly to the ground.
