Her little teeth dug into Sassafras's leg, with nearly enough pressure to break the skin. Before that could happen, however, Towhee felt a vibration and froze. She deliberated for a moment, then let go of her hold to peer up at the adult's face. At only three weeks old, the pup had already begun making the connection between these vibrations and mouths moving. These things meant something, though she was still too young to comprehend much further than that yet.

Sassafras's mouth wasn't actually moving right now, which perplexed the youngster. But she shrugged it off, to so speak, and pounced the she-wolf's leg again, clamping on even tighter than before. She couldn't know it but the fierce urge coursing through her was a tiny taste of the bloodlust that would one day evolve her into a formidable predator.
