Moonspear bear necessities

So much happened in the space of a few seconds. Galaxy ran away from her, only to be scooped up and carried away by one of the black wolves. Another dark wolf lay at the bear's feet, bleeding. Kala's anger ebbed abruptly as each of these developments processed. She had never wanted to hurt anyone. And now her cub was lost to her.

She was tempted to plop to the ground and let them tear her to pieces. But then she would truly never see her cub again. Kala couldn't bear that thought. Feeling despondent, she fell forward onto all fours, doing her best to avoid stepping on or bumping into any of the wolves as she tearfully fled into the nearby cave with every intent to disappear back into the earth.
