Genesis 28:21

As many times as Archon sought out Dea and tried to bring her to the pack, he had been unable to even get close yet. He searched for her now, having Obi stay behind in the pack. He could move a little faster alone and Obi wanted to work on some gifts for the mothers to be.

Archon searched the area for Dea's scent. He called for her as he went, letting her know he was nearby so that she could come to him, but also the he was too close for her to be able to simply escape. He knew it could be easy to avoid confrontation, but Archon had no intention of letting her go. She held his pups inside of her and had been someone of great faith until just recently. Everyone must go through struggles, Archon knew that, but he had almost lost Dea once and he wasn't about to again.
