Bitterroot Valley parts developed in an unusual manner

The wolf doesn't respond as much as he'd like, instead making himself smaller and ignoring his words. Gavriel's eyes narrow and he feels a low growl rumble deep in his chest, nothing more than an inaudible vibration the other wouldn't hear. The stranger is in a territory that borders his home, sure that any of his other members might come by and help ease the wolf out of his pathetic life, but Gavriel didn't have the strength to do it himself
or even care. The famine had played quite a toll. If he did kill the wolf, however, he could feed a few of his own that might eat another of the same species. 

The thought alone turns his stomach. 

"You are too close to my home and you need to go," he says as his growl increases, stepping forward a few steps to make sure he's heard. A moment later, however, Gavriel turns to leave and no longer waste his time on an adult acting like a mewling infant.
