Whitefish River What the night knows

Beckett explained the difference between a permanent settlement and a temporary campsite. Koontz still felt uneasy at the idea of humans infiltrating the park, whether they stayed for a day, a week or a year. She supposed she should feel relieved if they only passed through.

"No..." she said when he referred to himself as psychotic. "It's just strange to me. I've never heard of a wolf seeking out human settlements for any reason, much less to collect things. What types of objects do you collect?" Koontz couldn't even fathom a guess, as she was not personally familiar with humans; she'd simply been passed an instinctual mistrust directly through her bloodlines. As she stared at Beckett, she wondered if that knowledge could skip a generation.
