To say Gwen was shocked was an understatement. She knew of the vampire-wolf's intentions, though seeing him murder an innocent wolf like that in front of both her and the pup - oh darn, the pup! She'd momentarily forgotten that he was hiding, and the red woman he was with was now.... well, dead. "Wha......" she gasped, unable to finish her sentence. The pale stranger in front of her was closing in faster, and Gwen urgently looked around for some kind of escape. Then perhaps she would be able to get the pup back to Marauder's Keep, where he should have been anyway.

If she had been able to step back, she would have. Though the den, it seemed, could not allow that, nor the brute in front of her.
