She was bright enough to believe she had been rude. This told him she had more than simple eagerness at her disposal. Inferni’s warriors (save Hybrid, of course) needed to know how to behave. A lack of discipline, as it is with most coyotes, had led to conflicts Gabriel believed avoidable. He said nothing in response, and watched as her body moved in a motion he had seen before. With a powerful thrust of his hind legs, the bulky coy-wolf leapt over her feet and hit the ground beyond her, taking care to do so on his right leg. For an instance, he desperately missed Anselm, but dismissed this as he turned to face the girl.
“You’re eager,” he said flatly. “You’re untrained and you’re too small to fight without knowing how.” He settled onto his haunches, making it clear his lesson was over. Enkiel, nearby, trotted over to listen as Gabriel continued. “If you intend to fight in this form, you will need to learn how. We have two other ranked warriors in this clan besides myself, and it would do you good to seek them out. Kaena may not be able to show you, but she can tell you about what to expect from fighting wolves.” A dark, secret fury burned in his eyes. His mother knew far more than just what it was to fight—she knew what it was to lose. “If they think you’re capable, you and I will also train.” He had done so with all of the Hastati before her.
