"A coyote! Ah, no. It's just Lukas!" They would cry. He hated it. He could not control his coat color; why must they make fun of it? It lead to some fights as he would get to his breaking point. Eventually he met White Claws who did not say anything about his fur. She remarked that he had some blue in it and that was something she hadn't seen. He decided to join her pack, appreciating that she did not mock him.
Lukas became a hunter and found his coat could be used to his advantage. Most animals didn't seem to think coyotes were that big of a threat. They thought of him as nothing but a weak coyote. How wrong.
Eager Ember is always near him and talking to him about things. He enjoys her company and how she doesn't mock his fur. She has pointed out the ways he can use it to his advantage which he showed her his hunting technique which she applauded. A proud feeling swelled in his heart, along with something else for her. Love.
