The white-grey fae was working hard to make a polite exit of a scene that obviously stressed her. Her attempts had gone from adorable to irritating. The fae was a terrible liar. Utterly pathetic. There wasn?t anything to stop Silverback from pouncing now, but she chose to wait. With a word, she watched the fae give her last ados and then turn to shamble away from the cliff edge. She was back on the beach ? going off a quick, stiff legged walk. Silverback?s toothy smile widened. Oh this was going to be fun.
Any snowleopard can make a leap of twenty or thirty feet without batting an eye or chipping a claw. It?s something they have to train for when they?re little, but by the time theyr?e adults such things come naturally. To those blessed with great ability ? or, in Silverback?s case, with longer legs and back ? jumps of up to fifty feet or farther have been recorded. And heaven only knew what such creature do in the dark. Silverback was at liberty to let the she-wolf walk a good ten yards- let her think she was going to get away ? when she would plant her hind legs, coil every muscle in her silken body, and pounce
The huntress hit her prey like a bullseye ? but she was careful not to use all of her weight and force in the landing. A furry bag of broken bones was no good to her except as a meal. Silverback didn?t want the wolf dead. She just wanted her. The snow leopard?s pounce was enough to beat anyone into the ground, and the wolf would feel the coarse cut of the sand and the hot breath of the predator over her before a blow to the back of the head would knock her into unconsciousness. Silverback made sure to use a sheathed paw, and again, not to hit with full force.
