The wolf responds quickly, straightening her shoulders and matching his gaze.  Ukko growls, low, and shows his teeth. His own gaze hardens and his fur bristles. The dark wolf didn’t have a consistent dominant feel through his body having spent a while avoiding leadership but now, in his new home and new rank, the threat ran his blood hot.  “Doesn’t look like it,” he flatly states, snapping his jaws shut with a definied click of his teeth. 

Her gaze drops but his alarm doesn’t, watching to see if her posture would change for a wolf in need of a home. Tension eases slightly but Ukko doesn’t let it show, debating his choice for a second chance so soon.
