The cougar was actually quite small, an observation which came with a certain measure of relief. But Haunt knew better than to let down her guard around another apex predator. The stranger hissed at her to keep her eyes on it and back away slowly, though her instincts whispered for her to do something else entirely.

Yellow gaze riveted on the young mountain lion, Haunt bared her teeth, ears thrusting forward as her lips peeled backward. Her tail came lashing upward over her hips, back arching a little and shoulders squaring as she solidly planted her single forefoot on the ground. Every blade of pale fur on her body raised like quills and she let out a ferocious snarl, tongue suddenly lashing from between her fangs.
