In Gabriel’s mind, there was a thin line between wolf and coyote. It was a part of his heritage, and obvious in his appearance, but he did not consider himself a wolf. That word had never settled well with him, unable to wash the blood out of his mind. As long as he could remember that scream, he would never call himself a wolf. No description settled well with the hybrid, and as such, he rejected them.
Though Rikka explained she had no knowledge of Kaena’s return (and indeed, Gabriel believed her), he still could not quell the hollow feeling in his chest. He could not soften his eyes, as they had once been able to, and focused on her with the same intensity as a hunting falcon. The tone in his voice, however, no longer held such a vicious edge. “Corona said the same thing,” he offered, wind tugging at his too-long hair. “You planning on sticking around?”
