Haunted Wood Like a Forgotten Song

The taunt only sank into his skin because it was so untrue. He had slaughtered several coyotes, to say he couldn't was a blatant offense. The moment Valour took to contemplate was his mistake and in seconds the tables turned and Memory slammed his paws into his chest knocking him breathless and leaving him open to the next attack. The pain was startling and brutal, he yelped and went limp out of fear of losing his eye which shut tight defensively as physically the fight went out of him. As he was released he stepped back breathing raggedly as he took a moment to check himself over and compose himself "You're good but you'll need to keep something in mind. Me and Hela run this place. We're young but the rest of the pack has our back. Learn to respect me" his words were bold but he turned to @Hela, his left eye swollen shut and dripping blood but his right staring directly at her with an intensity that almost dared her to do anything but support him before tossing another remark at the man "I've killed more than just coyotes by the way" the threat was intended though he hoped that the man didn't act on it because he was already in a good deal of pain.
