The savage in man is never
quite eradicated

It was not a guess, but Ezekiel did not think to correct him. The less some stranger knew the better. Ezekiel flicked one ear dismissively at the news of AniWaya—Inferni had not been involved in the war (save cashing in on the spoils) and it had not reached so far north. If it had, perhaps it would have ended sooner. “I’ve never been in them,” Ezekiel admitted, though this was not surprising. There was no reason for him to explore such deep places of the world.

“I’m surprised,” he went on, amber eyes taking on a savage gleam. “Anathema didn’t seem too fond of coyotes. They killed a boy of ours not long after they formed.” It was a dual threat as much as it was his own airing of grievance. Ezekiel had not been able to punish most of those who had crossed the clan since they belonged to other packs. Eventually, though, when their members were stronger and he trusted them more, there would be no hesitation when it came to violence. The blonde smiled in a way that did not meet his eyes and watched the stranger quietly.
