You’re arguing with one of your packmates when his half-brother decides to step in. He tells you both to stop fighting, but neither of you are keen on that idea so ignore him. You curl your lips into a snarl when you feel sharp needle-like teeth tugging at your ear. With a yelp, you scurry backwards, wondering what just happened. As it turns out, the half-brother decided to physically stop you, and you don’t much appreciate it. 

Even so, it was an understandable manoeuvre and you can’t help but respect the reddish-furred wolf for it. His appearance is captivating, and your eyes widen in disbelief. 

He’s recognisably Hotaru’s mate; you know this because of how popular the couple are. You nod your head, he nods back, before leaving with his half brother at his heels.
