Redtail Rise Crossing the frontier, 2

She would've rolled her eyes had she been just a touch less irritated with him for his recklessness. She saw absolutely no excuse for his behavior now, and if he had no respect for boundaries or the wolves who protected their families, he'd get no respect in return. 

She raised her shoulder to deflect his blow to an an area where her skin was loose and fur thick. He seemed to be striking without aim, which left her with an advantage. He pushed toward her and she met his chest with a check of her shoulder, ducking her head to make a grab for one of his front legs with her snapping jaws. 

The din of their fight rose from the otherwise silent Rise; her pack might not have been with her at that instant, but it was likely that one of them was within earshot. Another oversight on his behalf.
