Tiger Moon

Rogdar looked from the tiger to the girl as she refused to run from the potential threat, then his eyes widened as a new challenger entered the fray; a mountain lion prowled up to them from the moon touched cliffs and Rogdar felt the fur on his neck stand on end. He let go of the tiger and charged for the second cat, teeth bared, eyes narrowed, tail tucked, and ears pinned, all the signs of a defensive wolf ready to fight.

He threw himself at the second cat just as it pounced for the strange woman and landed all four of his paws directly on the cat’s chest before he pushed away, sending the cat hurtling into the ground. Rogdar landed neatly and instantly dropped into a defensive position, the fur on his back rising as he took a step closer to his still opponent. The cat rose slowly and hissed at him, brandishing its fangs and swiping at the air between them. In a flash Rogdar reached forward and snatched the cat’s paw in his jaws while it shrieked and struck at his face with its free paw. Rogdar held on for dear life, tugging back and shaking his head while fur and blood flew from his face and jaws.
