Fox's Glade wasn't expecting that

She said, "I will not," but Regipre knew better than to trust a wolf at its word. Still, there wasn't much she could do. If she did attempt to flee, she would only hurt herself. She could never outrun the other predator. Never in her life had the young coyote felt so powerless.

When the she-wolf climbed to her feet and inched closer, Reggie couldn't hide her uneasiness much longer. She feared for her life. She also resented the proximity in general, particularly because this was a wolf. Why couldn't they just leave her well enough alone? She would rather die than keep dealing with them.

"Wolves attacked me," Reggie replied tersely when questioned, "for no reason." She hadn't done anything to deserve being chased, let alone mauled like this. "My leg was damaged, so I chewed it off myself," she finished flatly.
