[Warning: Violence & Blood]
Violet
I stood frozen, unable to look away from the savage display.
Corin's jaws locked around Darnel's shoulder, tearing deep. Darnel twisted, his own teeth finding Corin's flank, and ripping through the muscle.
I needed to run. This was my chance. While they were distracted, I could—
Movement in my peripheral vision made me turn my head.
A third wolf was creeping out from behind a massive tree trunk. Larger than Corin, with mottled brown and grey fur that had helped it blend into the shadows. I didn't recognize this one, but the way it moved, low and stalking, told me everything I needed to know.
It was with Darnel.
The wolf's yellow eyes were fixed on the fight, waiting for an opening.
"Corin!"
The third wolf struck.
It barrelled into Corin from the side, massive jaws closing around his throat and literally tearing him away from Darnel. Corin howled as he was slammed into the ground.
