Ouroboros Spine We can travel so far as our eyes can see

What Sialuk expected as an ambush and what actually happened turned out to be very different. She was alert for coyotes or bears that thought they'd make a quick meal out of the pack's spoils, but the true danger was right in front of her, an approaching wolf as white as herself. She moved as though to place the leg down, but even before she'd fully dropped it, Sidewinder swooped in and latched onto it.

A surprised growl bubbled between her teeth as she set her jaw, holding the leg as firmly as she could. The meat was meant for the pack, so nature dictated she let it go and allow Sidewinder to have it, but she held on for two reasons: Sidewinder's lack of submission and the temptation of tug of war. She growled more fiercely now, bristling her hackles to look larger, and jerked herself backward to try to wrest it from him. She wanted only to intimidate him into submitting, after which she would gladly part with the prize in her jaws. Until then, she would fight him for it in a desperate tugging match.
