Redhawk Caldera I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition.

At the sound of Finley's shout, Elwood dragged his gaze away from the black wolf. He looked back at his mate, watching in confusion as she pinned Phox to the ground, and then he became aware of a small, dark blur in his peripheral vision. Before he could do anything about it, Towhee raced past him and propelled herself at the trespasser.

Elwood froze in place for an instant, unable to move as he watched his goddaughter land a bite on the male's foreleg. With little effort, the stranger shook her free and then trapped her against the ground with his paw. Though Towhee struggled valiantly, she was obviously no match for the much larger wolf.

There wasn't even time for Elwood to truly process what had just happened; his paws carried him swiftly towards Towhee and, with jaws spread wide, he launched himself at the interloper.
