What A Nuisance

Shadow shifted his gaze from side-to-side, happening to see what appeared to be shadows of other wolves, or other wildlife for that matter. But, he could easily tell that whoever these animals are, they were looking for a fight and not to make friends. He kept his claws digging into the soft earth as is alabaster canines were exposed. A deep growl erupted from his throat as his tail stood up in what was supposed to be dominate stance. Some chuckles surrounded through the bushes, almost three at most as what he could pinpoint at the moment.

"Show yourselves, cowards!" Shadow barked. Chuckles continued to reverberate throughout his ears as he looked around, staying in front of Maria as a look of urgency seemed to appear upon his brow. That was then when three black wolves happened to approach them, all three of them being males as they appeared to be laughing at him and Maria. "What do you want?!" Shadow demanded, eyes staying narrowed and a serious expression was noticed.

"What does it look like, freak? We want that beautiful looking thing behind you!" All three of them laughed as Shadow stayed even closer to Maria to this time, his claws digging into the earth even more as he shifted his gaze to Maria, his eyes showing sincerity and kindness for once, almost as if without words he was saying 'I will protect you'.
