Riley felt fire flash behind his eyes and saw red, the hair standing up on the back of his neck. He let out a growl that reverberated up the back of his throat and he could feel his teeth shifting to sharp points, could feel the tips of the claws on his hands digging into the back of his hands. He glared up at Tao, and that old familiar hate bubbled back up in his chest, the wolf boiling inside him that wanted to slash and bite anf fight. When he met Tao's eyes, his pupils were tiny and the whites of his eyes were visible almost all the way around his irises. There was no mistaking that look, he would have gladly torn out Tao's throat had he not been otherwise occupied.
