Moonspear bear necessities

They were after her. Kala couldn't say how she knew, she just knew. She could feel eyes on her back, though she couldn't possibly hear her pursuers (not over the sound of her own monstrous paws and heavy panting), nor did she see anything when she cast her beady eyes over her shoulder. But the bear knew the wolf pack must be tracking her across the mountain. She let out a breathy rumble of warning and kept trundling back in the direction of the cave.

She was nearly there when she saw a white wolf on the path ahead of her. Kala's initial instinct was to slow down and maintain a neutral stance so as not to invite a physical altercation. She might even speak to the young she-wolf, assure her that she meant no harm and let her know that she just wanted to return to her cub and go back underground.

But then Kala saw Galaxy sitting a few dozen yards beyond the white wolf, putting the stranger in between the mother bear and her cub. All thoughts of diplomacy fled from the grizzly's mind. She did slow down but only to abruptly rise onto her hind paws and unleash a horrible roar. She intended to frighten the wolf into running away, though if that didn't work, Kala would absolutely attack in order to defend her baby.
