Battle over dinner

Habari was gone and Kotori wasn’t sure what ripples it would cause.  Would there be revenge on the one who took down Habari or would it be accepted as simply a stronger wolf having proven their right to claim the pack?  Kotori didn’t know the pack well enough for his own personal interest but if Ashen or Armada planned to get riled up over it then it might become his business.  For now, though, it gave nice land to roam and hunt in.

His prey unfortunately had moved a bit too close to where a tiger had been hiding.  Kotori had followed the trail of the prey only to watch it leap to its death as a tiger slammed into it.  The fawn didn’t have a chance and Kotori waited until it was fully dead.

Now then.  That had been his.

Cat and wolf snarled at each other before they both charged to learn who got their meal and who died.  Kotori’s teeth aimed for the cat’s neck as it raised up to attack with claws and teeth.  Kotori swung wide to miss the attack, jerking his head sideways, his horns enough of a threat to keep the cat at bay as he spun around to face the predator again.
