The savage in man is never
quite eradicated

The wilderness had made him into a savage, but it was Inferni that had taken him down the path he now walked. Enemies were everywhere—in the Court, where Alaine’s vengeance surely waited (he thought, briefly, of his father and wondered how soon it would be until his return) and east, where Anathema slunk about their shadowed caves and plotted with bad magic. More recently, his nightmarish vision of the deer lingered and kept him cautious around the woodlands. If he saw it, he would not know what to do; a spirits power, especially one who claimed to be a god, was frightening.

His attention waned back towards the girl, who explained herself well enough. Both eyes narrowed sharply at her growl, and were he a wolf, and had he been on the ground, he might have struck her. The insolence was tiring—he had no patience for it. No doubt she was skilled; too skilled for a child, though he supposed some of those might be stronger than others. ,b>“If you can learn to keep your tone in check,” he warned her, amber eyes gleaming. “You’ll do better here. Have you ever been in a pack before? Do you know what it means to serve others?” A trial, yes, but how could he not when insubordination filled his ranks? Halo had learned. They all would, in time.
