Spooky Shadows

"No!" Dominus' bright blue eyes were wide, his pupils barely visible as they reflected the sight of the bear tumbling onto it's back and trapping the piebald wolf. He worried about the amount of weight that was falling on the wolf and if it would seriously harm him any, whether or not the wolf would be able to get away once the bear got up on its feet once again. Dominus' talons gripped the earth beneath under splayed toes, his heart racing so fast in his chest that it was all he could hear.

As the bear fell onto it's back and exposed the complete underside of his body to the wolves, Dominus sprang into action knowing he needed to act quickly. His thick claws that were already embedded in the forest floor used their secure footing as leverage to close the distance between them within milliseconds. His teeth chose to seek out the flesh of the bear's inner thigh, as high up and with the least amount of fur as possible though he wasn't picky.

The behemoth wolf thrashed his head violently as he would tear into the inner portion of the bear's thigh, pinching together flesh with an incredibly wide range from what he grabbed with the initial bite. He felt his teeth fight to get past the thick of the bear's skin and muscle, and finally, he felt the flood of blood that he was aiming for. He'd managed to dig deep enough to open it as he wanted, and he assumed the bear would indeed die from such a wound... but how long would it take? The bear was furious, but awkwardly placed- by the time it tried to attack Dominus, Dominus had already backed off and reset his defenses while he readied himself to wait out the bear's end.

Weakened, the bear did its best to back off from the wolves after it rolled off of the wolf. With its heavily bleeding rump held protectively to the ground, the bear backed up toward the pines with a new fear for his life. This surprised Dominus, but he was thankful. With an attentive eye on the bear, he moved to the wolf that had been pinned beneath it.

"You alright?" He asked quickly, looking to the wolf only after the bear disappeared into the forest. Dominus had been lucky enough to avoid... any damage at all, really. It was a shame his spur of the moment battle partner did not share the same luck.
