The nice thing about being the wolf was that Aly could choose to Not Think. If sensei was here, of course, he'd thrash her black and blue from here clear back to Otherside, but he wasn't, so he didn't, so she didn't care. And hunting was one way she could feel better about herself after that utter disaster last month with Devin.

(She always let the bibiru go, though. She was trying to practice stealth and speed, not hunt for food.)

A growl caught her attention, and she looked up, just a little. There was someone else who seemed to have the same idea. She bared her teeth just a little - the message was clear. Back off.
