His border patrol had begun on the coastal edge of the pack's territory that day, his secui form moving rapidly as he allowed the cold and salty water to lap over his paws as he trotted briskly. Vigilante's life was relatively normal, his daily routine having become repetative long ago. Though he knew that the monotony would bother some, he was not affected. In fact, he almost preferred it that way. He was not a fan of surprises, and when the passed by in a regular fashion, he could easily become comfortable with his routine and there was little chance for something to catch him off guard. Vigilante had always kept to himself, and he had always worked for the greater good in everything he did. That had not changed; his duties simply lay elsewhere now, something he found fulfilling.
Head swung to the side sharply at the sound of the scream, his heart running cold as he quickly recognized the voice of Amaranth. Without even a moment of thought, the Constable broke out at a run, his mind running rapidly with the possibilities, though what had happened did not matter. All that did matter was that she was in trouble and he had to save her. A growl ripped from deep within as he saw the lynx standing over his mate's daughter and without a moment of hesitation, the dog mutt leapt towards the pair, the speed and height of his leap meant to knock the lynx off of her and to the ground farther away so that he would not hurt Amaranth. He wanted to get the feline away from her quickly, before it did serious damage to the pup. He would never forgive himself, and he suspected Ayita would agree, if he let something happen to his step-daughter. Regardless of whether or not they were close (truthfully, he did not even know if Amaranth liked him at all), they were still family.
