Mirana was in the same Algabera class as Striker and Gem. They sat infront of her. She leaned back in her chair and kept watch as students filed in. It was easy to tell what animal forms were at the school by the student's gair or speech.  She smelled so many scents it was like being in a fragrance shop with spices. The males from soccer practice smelled the strongest. Striker had the scent of an alpha. Strong musk of testrone with earthy overtones caused Mirana to rub her nose. She hurt from tail to head and sighed. She knew Striker would smell her wounds and she had no way to mask them. She whispered, "Call me out later Alpha. I already paid dearly for attacking my cousin. I have been ousted and in this dump your territory. I am here against my will as it is. I saw your den and will only hunt where you say. My den is in the wood across the meadow. I might as well tell you then get a surprise visit. I warn you my cousin is no small timer. He the boss of the Cold Killer Gang. You ever need protection. I can you connected."
