Times are gone for honest men

Burke wanted this female gone, away from his lands, whether they we close to it or not, Burke didn't care. His pack was on his way, that much he knew and soon they would come through the underground tunnels to help. Burke had made at least a sucessful hit when he felt his teeth in her haunces. But now, the female also went for his neck, which was quite a bold move and a tight turn for her to make. 

Burke instantly went into defense, making sure his paws were in the muddy and loose ground that came with the swamps. The large male was quite a block so unbalancing him she did not, however she did bruise his ribs with the weight she slammed into him and because Burke had stepped forward her teeth were by his shoulder where he clearly felt her impact make. Though once there was contant Burke instantly dove down to try and grab her upper front leg. Now only the top of his neck, his scruff, was exposed to her and his ears. But he did not bother as much with those things as the side of his neck. 

He could not see much of Nemesis her fight, and if she was even fighting in the first place. He at least tried to injure her leg so Burke hoped she would have a reminding limp for while. He expected a counter attack from the female but the male was done with this. He was going to defend his land, whatever she would do to him. He hoped to push her off to create some new space between them. "Leave now," he growled.
