Redtail Rise Obey your master

Let me know if any of this is not okay! I'm also skippable since I'm not positive I can keep up with this, but wanted to get in for a reaction anyway!

It happened so quickly.

One minute, Aventus was watching from an unseen perch as one of his sister's children — his niece, he supposed — approached the den all on her own. He lifted his eyes to scan the mountainside for a sign of Avicus or whichever pack wolf was attending her, and that was just enough time for her to grab hold of his son.

There was a strangled cry and a snarl. Aventus wrenched his head back around to see Masquerade standing over Atreus with his throat in her jaws, and then panic and protective instinct seized him completely.

Aventus flew down from his perch just as Ancelin bit Masquerade's tail and she leaped away. That was not enough. He closed the distance between them at breakneck speed. She crouched down and whined, seeming to acknowledge her mistake. It still was not enough.

Aventus seized his niece by the neck and pressed her to the ground, straddling her, snarling into her fur and clamping his jaws. Not hard enough to draw blood, but hard enough to pinch. Hard enough to harshly correct. He would remain this way, pinning her, until he was certain he had put the fear of god into her and she would never, ever dare touch a hair upon his sons' heads again, and only then would he let her up, and then he would loom nearby in case she sought to test her luck.

Avicus would have, in her shoes. He was surprised at the surge of distaste he felt looking at his niece, knowing she would attack his sons in that fashion, and a low warning growl thrummed in his throat.
