Rosewater Oasis Little Coywolf

A coywolf, the priestess soon realized; The Tribe welcomed such, and S'ari had even brought such children to nurse at her belly. Andanari was no more pure of blood than this man. But she had been raised among Tribe — and he, as far as Candle knew, had not.

S'ari was not here.

She nosed Andanari's cheek with a soft whine, stepping around to stand between her and the stranger. There were too many wolves in their desert; this half-breed only served as more proof. Candle showed him her teeth then, wondering how far her mate might be. If he would come when she called.
