Vesper had been tracking the hawk rather than the man.

The hybrid was well acquainted with the mountains by this point, but winter had changed them as surely as it had changed the rest of Nova Scotia. One no longer needed to trek to a very high elevation to encounter snow, as the stuff had fallen just about everywhere recently. Many of the trails she often frequented to hunt or otherwise explore were covered, forcing her to turn and find new paths that were not as treacherous. She did not risk moving in her two-legged form, because while her balance had improved incredibly since her first shift, she could not take the chance of slipping and injuring herself now that the paths were often icy.

The snow also hid small animals, and Ves had been wandering long enough to grow hungry. The bird of prey, usually something that caused her to freeze and grow wary, seemed more like a messenger form heaven as she spied it circling above. She could only assume that it was seeking out food as well, and so she’d changed her route toward its direction. If it happened to spy a rabbit or mountain vole, she would definitely try to get the food first.

She loped along until the sound of crashing water reached her ears. Her mind flashed back to her meeting with the young luperci Eclipse, and with more confidence than that day, she padded forward to approach one of the pools. However, like the last time, there was another present on the other side—a pale male with dyed fur, sitting on a log—with the hawk perched on his shoulder.

The lupus-formed coywolf snorted and walked boldly into view when the male stood, though she did not show any signs of aggression. Instead, she merely wandered down to the water’s edge and dipped her head to take a drink, keeping her blue eyes focused on the man.
