Horizon Ridge You walk around this town like it’s holy land,

The beast at his haunch held fast, canines piercing hide and firmly gripping. Dacio squeezed his eyes shut and sucked in a sharp breath to hold the thrumming sting at bay, instinctively shifting his weight and jerking away in a poor attempt to dislodge. His grip was strong, however, and with his own jaws clamped on the loose flesh behind the coywolf's head, the ashen Drakru feared that only an assault would dislodge him - meaning his target would easily slip away.

His own attacker pulled, tugging at a thigh with every intention of dragging him away from the desperate Raleska who continued to writhe and flail beneath him in attempt to escape. When her attempts were proven hopeless, she twisted enough to seek purchase on Dacio's chest. Her teeth clamped down on the silver yearling and he suddenly felt trapped, immobilized, forced to relinquish his grasp.

He released, pain searing from the newest bite he received, though swung away from her at once to turn fangs on the brute who'd seen fit to interfere. In this move he saw the flurry of activity behind him: a blur of champagne gold, engaged in combat with another. The mere sight of his sister under attack fueled a new fire in him, and his intention shifted from assault to defence.

It hadn't mattered to him if he was outnumbered, but he could not allow further harm to befall Opalia. Jaws wide and lips pulled back in a ferocious snarl, he fixed his stare to the side of Vengeance's face and made to strike there, eager to loosen his grip on a bloodied flank enough to yank away and tear toward the wolf who dared touch his sibling.
