Phoenix Maplewood You were my courage, my sword and shield

It wasn't Saena but one of her two unfamiliar henchmen. Before Regipre could register much more than that, teeth closed around her already broken leg, crushing with brutal force and nearly tearing the limb from her body. The coyote couldn't help but unleash a wretched scream. The she-wolf did not release her but because the leg was so badly mangled, it slipped from her hold and fell to the ground in a heap of pulped tissue and bone shards.

Adrenaline kicked into full force. Without even realizing what she was doing—and, mercifully, feeling no pain at the moment—Regipre somehow managed to leap to her three good feet. She began to bound away, her movements awkward and her mutilated leg dragging. If she fell again, she wouldn't get back up. If the wolves caught up to her, she was done for. The coyote didn't look back. Reggie just kept running for her life.
