Broken Antler Fen That's just is

Draper nearly choked on his own tongue when Charles asked if he was looking for a pack. You really haven't met a coyote before, have you? That much was blatantly obvious, but Draper couldn't help but say it out loud. Considering the kid's father wasn't around, and he was the coyote of his parents, Draper didn't think there was much chance that this Firefly Glen place would enjoy having a full-blown coyote around.

He half wanted to pretend to be interested in joining the place, but he had a good feeling that would only get him killed. And honestly, that wasn't on his agenda in the near future. I am, but I don't think your pack would like me, he replied plainly.
