Behati's shot up from her hiding place — moments later, a trio of little popped up above the grass, their bat-like ears backlit by the very faintest of dawn glows. A chorus of whoops and yipping raised flock of nesting birds into the air, gilding the scene with an edge Lion King-esque drama.

"Beauty beauty! Come come, big strong!" the visitors crowed in Dante's direction, bobbing their heads. Their tone was mocking - but Behati wasn't sure that coyotes had any other options. The caramel wolf crept forward, signalling Dante with a sharp yip of her own.
