Porcupine Ridge the shining [m]

The beta male was able to mount before the black wolf got to him, which only furthered the male's rage. He had given no one permission to breed, and until he secured for himself his own litter, he would not. This moment threatened all that he had worked for, all the miles he walked to come here, all the time spent in finding a new home and building a stable pack within it. He was a different beast here and now, and even as he bowled his companion over, he continued to set upon him with gnashing teeth to the agouti wolf's muzzle.

Met with no immediate resistance, the bristling and tense alpha swung his attention abruptly to the white girl who sheltered in the crook of a snow drift, and his long strides quickly brought him near to her. Capriccio had beat him there, but he hardly regarded her. He stood there defensively, staring down the beta male with his teeth bared and a growl daring him to contest what Taggarik now claimed.
